First off, ignore the PG rating. There's more objectionable stuff in Sunday School. Then gather the kids, yours, your neighbors' and if you're a rug rat wrangler, this one will sooth the savage beasties. Fire up the corn-popper or microwaves, make pizzas and kick back. Yes, it is THAT good. Anna Pacquin shows the stuff that helped cut her cute little acting chops to win her future Oscar. Jeff Daniels is quietly quirky as her ultra-light pilot father and the rest of the cast is unobtrusive if not engaging. But the real grabbers are the ducks, er, geese (and that's a borrowed line) and the way they are lovingly photographed on land, water and in the air. And wait 'till you get a gander at the dad-made honker that takes flight to lead the flock. It's a slow starter but stay with it. Then when the kids are all gone, curl up and watch it with that big baby you like next to you most.
