Wow... just wow.  The framing of this film were perfect.  It was beautiful and heart warming.  Yes, I am gushing at a non action, non scifi, non horror movie.  I know, try to wipe the shock off your face.

Seeing as I enjoyed The Royal Tenenbaums (Wes Anderson), I'm not surprised I liked the movie.  I am surprised I LOVED the movie.   I even want to go see it again!  This is definitely a Bluray movie purchase.  No doubt about that!

The two kids in the movie were amazing.  The close ups of them were, well, perfect.  The whole cast was really talented.  It shouldn't be a shocker that I say that about Bruce Willis and Edward Norton, but really, everyone in the movie was superb. 

Visually, the film was pure art.  The colors, shot framing, movement (or lack of), and timing were brilliant. 

I recommend this film.  As a matter of fact, I support you seeing this film.  If this movie was running for President, it would have my vote for sure!  Wait... I have an idea... ;)

Favorite Line:  "Jiminy Cricket,  he flew the coop!"
