Jess, Angie and I went to see Lilo & Stitch this afternoon. Cute movie. Three to five minutes after Lilo’s introduction, I was hooked. Yes, it’s a Disney movie. I know… I know… they make movies to enthrall their audiences (which usually works on me, with the notable exception being Hercules). In this case, it worked. I think that part of the reason that it worked so well was that it actually showed a dysfunctional family without making it over the top, a la The Simpsons. There were aliens, too, but they were characters and not caricatures… for the most part. And how can you not like a movie with Ving Rhames (Marcellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction)?!?

Take the kids and go see it. What? What’s that?! You don’t have kids? Oh… Well, go see it yourself!

Peace.
