Perhaps I'm getting increasingly cynical, critical, and fun-phobic in my old age.

My seven year-old daughter loved it unreservedly. I loved the cinematography, costuming, soundtrack/score, casting, and acting (Catherine Keener is always welcome, in my book), but slept through about twenty minutes of it because (I felt) it plodded along. It was long on theme but short on plot, too, IMO.

It's worth a matinee viewing on the big screen, though, I suppose.
