Most critics are missing the point of this movie - it's not supposed to be a "Schindler's List." Yes there are cliches,but some of them are cleverly wrapped cliches of cliches. There's some stuff that gets too silly, unless your 7, at which point his reaction (my son) adds even more to the entertainment value of the movie.
The bottom line is that my daughter, son and I went to the movie, had a great time. We've been quoting lines in the last couple of days and laughing at the memory, but we've also had some serious conversations about love and loss and family and taking care of each other - an experience far more valuable than the cost of the movie.
