The weekend of July 4th will be the weekend the wife and I catch up on our movies. Before the weekend is over, we hope to see Wanted, Wall-E, and Hancock. But, since this movie was out the longest, we decided to see this one first.
I'll admit, I was hesitant to see this. I mean, Pixar had been eating Dreamworkslunch for years. So, I really didn't expect much from this film. But this might be the first Dreamworks film that matches Pixar in quality. It is that good.
This film is utterly charming. It works as a kid flick, a martial arts movie and a comedy. It mixes the tropes you find in kung fu flicks, and even Star Wars feel thrown in, and what you'd expect from a CGI film. You should definitely see this movie.
The voice action is first rate. As a matter of fact, this might be Dustin Hoffman's best performance in years.
It is a movie that adults will like as much as the kids. Although, take care with the young ones. There are some scary parts.
