Excellent, smart action film.
As Good As It Gets
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Wish I'd read these reviews first. We were surprised by the repeated use of the curse word "damn" throughout the movie by the evil nephew. It was not a welcome surprise when viewing with our 3yo. I didn't think G-rated movies were allowed to use curse words. The story line was fine, but the language was unnecessary. Not sure who they were trying to appeal to with it.
Spoiler alert......It was an okay storyline, but the Daniel character has issues saying the word damn over & over & over again. It might be okay if it was just once or twice, but we counted about 6x in about 20 min. Also when he shoots at a cat a bunch of times with a shotgun, it's a teency bit much. I wouldn't recommend this for small children. Unless you skip through those parts ;) other than that & a couple other scenes, it was okay. Our kids liked it.
The film is a mediocre storyline of an abandoned cat that ends up being adopted by a magician. Typical children's story.However, the villain has a propensity to shout "Damn Cat!" anytime he involved with the cat. This was rated G, wasn't it? The animation is good, and seems to play off some sort of 3d effects throughout. Not the same level of animation as Pixar or Dreamworks, but still pretty good quality.Watch it if you are bored and need a cheap film to entertain the kids for an hour and a half.I would give the film the following ratings:Story- 3/5 Characters- 2.5/5 Animation- 4.5/5 Cheesy reference to the film "Big" - 7.5/5
This movie goes way too far with the violence.It has an adult that goes completely mad and tries to kill a cat with a shotgun. There is a lot of guns and violence in a lot of kids movies, but this somehow goes way too far.I found myself sitting with my three young children completely stunned. It spiraled way out of control.The animation was fantastic and it started out being a fairly nice entertaining film. And then it all goes horribly wrong. This was a big fail for me. Why fill a kids movie with so much violence and a shot gun?
