Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

As a parent who has a 20 month daughter who learned how to use the DVD player to watch Elmo, I have to disagree. She *loves* this - she dances to the music and yells out 'big bird', 'ernie and bert' whenever they come onscreen (sounds like a drinking game).I can painfully say I've watched this over and over and over. Heck, it sure beats Barney.

This is our two-year-old daughter's current favorite video, so we've seen it way too many times. Still, it's so well done that it's hard to mind seeing it again.My real question here: who is the "Blue Man"? (The fellow who interacts with Grover in the opening sequence, and at other times; he appears in many Sesame Street TV skits as well.) With all his lines, he ought to be in the credits -- but he's not. Indeed, I don't even know what his official name is.

Of course kids will love it; it's Elmo. But this clever and light-hearted retelling of Cinderella is winning enough for parents to enjoy, too. It has great songs and outstanding performances. Oliver Platt steals the show as the bumbling Fairy Godfather. Kathy Najimy, French Stewart, and Keri Russell all hold their own with the furry bunch. A definite winner.

Another lame attempt at a "politically correct" Cinderella story, but with Elmo in place of Brandy. It dosen't get much worst than this. If your looking for a GOOD fairy tale story, watch the "Happily Ever After" series, politically correct it may be but atleast their able to pull it off, and on a regular basis.
