Best movie ever!

Am I Missing Something?

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

This is the greatest film I have ever seen in my life, and I have seen After Earth. If you have not seen this work of art, please, I urge you, consider suicide. Or watch the film. It's one or the other. This film is THAT good.
However, I thought the scene where Elmo performed fellatio on himself was a bit out of place. Otherwise, a perfect film.

This is a great movie! It's full of good wholesome values that I am glad for my kids to see. For example, before giving Elmo magic clothes to wear to the ball, the Fairy Godperson tells Elmo that what matters is how a person behaves, who you are as a unique person, not what you wear. (Then he says, "But it's fun to dress up!" and poof, Elmo is wearing nice clothes.) The princess is kind and gracious. When Bert offers her his paper clip collection, she doesn't laugh, but instead she recognizes that it's one of his favorite possessions and she is honored that he would offer it to her. Oh my, and I LOVE that the genders are mostly switched around. It's a princess, not a prince; Cinderelmo is a boy not a girl; and the Fairy Godperson (in training) is a male -- and wonderful! This is a kids' movie not to miss!

This is our two-year-old daughter's current favorite video, so we've seen it way too many times. Still, it's so well done that it's hard to mind seeing it again.My real question here: who is the "Blue Man"? (The fellow who interacts with Grover in the opening sequence, and at other times; he appears in many Sesame Street TV skits as well.) With all his lines, he ought to be in the credits -- but he's not. Indeed, I don't even know what his official name is.

Of course kids will love it; it's Elmo. But this clever and light-hearted retelling of Cinderella is winning enough for parents to enjoy, too. It has great songs and outstanding performances. Oliver Platt steals the show as the bumbling Fairy Godfather. Kathy Najimy, French Stewart, and Keri Russell all hold their own with the furry bunch. A definite winner.
