Patricia – a charming and well-written review. I’m enjoying your pieces for LFM.

It’s also interesting (see my comment about “Farewell”) that the French are now making movies with these life-affirming themes. I also second what K says above. The French seem to have realized that there’s a market here for more traditional fare. When will the Americans figure this out?

Interesting. While the American film makers are making their films to sell in Europe and China, the French (Taken, Despicable Me) seem to be catching on that the American movie makers have left the American market wide open for more traditional fare.

not being part of the pixar cult, it’s good to seem them get competition. the more the merrier here.

So many films have an ulterior agenda nowadays that I figured this one would too. I’m glad to hear it didn’t, and that the kids enjoyed it so much (must have been something to be in the theater with them!).

And I’m shocked they make fun of Keith Olbermann! How was that allowed to happen?
