Review: Wall-E

Review: Wall-E
Rating: ***1/2
Nonna's Rating: $$$
Rotten Tomatoes: 96%

Critics' high praise for this film was well-deserved. One observed that the first half of the movie is the best silent comedy since the films of Charlie Chaplin. It's a rare thing -- an animated film that delights adults. My favorite 10-year-old reviewer Max, however, although he liked the movie, judged Kung Fu Panda the superior film. The morality tale aspect has seemed heavy-handed to a few reviewers, but it's a morality tale worth telling over and over -- a dire warning against the abuse of God's glorious creation. If you haven't seen it, make sure you put it on your NetFlix list.

Nonna's Ratings:
$$$$ = Worth paying the Friday evening price
$$$= Worth paying the Matinee price
