Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure (2009)
Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure is fun for the whole family – a family film at it’s best. Within the first two minutes I had melted more times than I can count. The animals are absolutely adorable! When the fairy puts the skunk to bed and tucks it in with a leaf… awww…. what else can be said? This movie is far too cute for words.
Aside from the adorable animals, Tinker bell and the Lost Treasure offers a story that is fun and touching, some moderate action scenes and some creepy looking rats. There is no real villain which is so unique in a movie these days.
Cinderella
This is without question my favorite animated Disney movie, but one of the best chick flicks ever made. It has everything we love – an unassuming, quiet girl whom nobody ever pays much attention to, unless its to abuse her in some way, is swept off her feet by her dashing prince. It’s the blueprint for nearly every chick flick ever made, and it’s done so beautifully.
The animation in Cinderella is classic and timeless. Cinderella is beautiful. Her step-sisters are appropriately fugly and the prince is handsome. The little animals that help Cinderella along the way are so adorable I could just squish them with love. And the fairy godmother is so motherly and warm. Sure the actual animation is crude compared to today’s animated movies, but that’s part of the appeal.
Failure to Launch (2006)
Matthew McConaughey is a babe. There should be a law preventing that man from wearing a shirt. At the very least, Failure to Launch is worth watching for recognizing that fact and giving us a nice surfing scene. A very nice surfing scene.
Of course there are more reasons to watch Failure to Launch – the lovely Sarah Jessica Parker, Zooey Deschanel, Kathy Bates, Terry Bradshaw and of course the two other pieces of eye candy we have to drool over, Bradly Cooper and Justin Bartha.
Yes, Failure to Launch is a tad predictable and the addition of the animatronic animals is questionable at best (although I will admit, I like it), but it’s also a lot of fun. Ignore the bad reviews and give it a chance!
