Curious George
A little change of direction in my reviews today. For Valentine's Day our family took in the new movie, Curious George! The look of this film is very true to the illustration and stories in the books by H.A. Rey. Will Ferrell gives voice to the man in the yellow hat ("it's the new khaki!"), with Drew Barrymore as the voice of his love interest. George is an adorable little guy who, of course, gets into lots of innocent trouble. This George acts a lot like an 18-month-old toddler -- cooing and playing peek-a-boo. My kids were fixated the entire hour-and-a-half. Overall, it is a cute movie, just about perfect for my three- and five-year-olds. And the Jack Johnson soundtrack is a great bonus for the parents!

Love the JJ soundtrack - most mellow, great for a lazy Saturday.
I agree with Allan. The soundtrack was SO mellow, it nearly put me to sleep during the movie. I liked the music, but it seems very atypical for a kids movie and didn't quite keep pace with the colorful animation.
what a sad commentary it is when the most comments on this blog are directed towards the review of a children's book/movie/soundtrack.
hmmm...anonymous, what a sad commentary it is when someone uses a fun, family-friendly post to be cynical.
i guess that's what happens when you put your personal thoughts, etc out on the web. i did not intend to be cynical, only to remark on the fact that aside from the brethren review, the only comments are on the initial post and posts about a soundtrack from a movie based on a childrens book. i enjoy the books reviews, especially the diversity of the books you've reviewed thus far. there seems to be a nice cross-section of books in your stack. i will continue to enjoy the reviews.
Thanks for the encouragment, anonymous. Sorry if I misread your "voice".
