Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
mcewans Such a great film. One of my favorites from Pixar.
Hermione Granger This movie is sweet and well-done, but it's not the best. It doesn't live up to Pixar. I'm not saying that today's Pixar is better than yesterday's--it's quite the opposite. You'd think that the very first Pixar films (and this was one of them) would be the most original and outstanding, but this isn't. It has a really good message, but the plot is O.K. and predictable.
mattkratz Another Pixar classic-of course John Ratzenberger has a voice role in it! This movie features a colony of ants being terrorized by a bunch of grasshoppers into gathering food for them. Among the ants is a well-meaning but bumbling member named Flick who always messes things up. (I can relate!) That seems like the type of role John Candy used to play. When he goes out to find "warrior bugs" to help fight the grasshoppers, he unknowingly recruits a circus troupe. He fails-and succeeds! I think this is a movie about not giving up and the need to fit in. It features a great voice cast.***1/2 out of ****
shreduhsoreus I was 9 when this movie came out. This is a kid's movie. It was amazing. I was there, kids at school loved it. From my understanding, kids at other schools all across the country loved this simple KID'S movie. These aren't supposed to be amazing movies with rich, involving stories, or deep characters. These reviews tearing down kid's movies from getting close to 2 decades ago(check out IMDb's page on The Lion King, it's a disgrace) are getting ridiculous. These movies were created with the sole purpose of entertaining partially developed minds for 70-90 minutes. Give them a break. These movies served a purpose, made a ton of money(and other merchandise), it's heartbreaking to see what sad people on the internet are doing to our childhoods(and admittedly a little funny to see IMDb become the real Movie Poop Shoot).
