A perfect instantiation of joyousness in the midst of a problematic world. No bitterness. Haven’t actually watched it (technically), but it has been watched (multiple times, it seems) while I was in the room. And the songs are pretty great.
(James Marsden like you’ve never seen him before.)
Quality movie. I would have liked the fairy-tale side to be worked out a lot more. Visually a wonderful movie, even though it’s much more a real-life movie than I expected.
Excellent performances all around, and I would trust Guillermo del Toro with The Hobbit. Besides, I liked what I saw of Hellboy 1.
Fascinating in concept. Not as fascinating in realization. But still a good film. It’s intriguing, frustrating, and exciting.
Jack Black is in his element. He must have had so much fun with this film.
Mos Def turns in a good performance.
It’s a better Michel Gondry film than Science of Sleep, but not as good as Eternal Sunshine (though it’s much easier to handle emotionally than ES. Times a thousand).

I heart Hairspray.
