"Gummibears!"

Rating: 10/10 (3 October 2009)

This was the most enjoyable film of the year, besides Up. Though it may look like a cheesy kids movie, this movie is entertaining for all ages! The story was simple, sweet, and easy to understand. The writers didn't overwhelm us with thousands of disconnected subplots, which is something more movies nowadays need to work on. I liked how they tweaked the story a little from the book, but it also stuck to the idea very well.
The characters were very enjoyable. Flint was funny, smart, and lovable. He was the perfect main character. His chemistry with Sam was flawless. And who could forget Steve, Flint's pet monkey with the Thought Translater strapped to him. I loved him! He was hilarious and cute, saying random things all the time.
The animation was incredible. The people were a bit cartoony, but well done. The food looked so real, and the clouds and landscapes were amazing! The action was adrenaline- pounding. I was fixed on the screen the whole time. Even all the little kids in the crowded theater didn't distract me from the movie.
I say, if you have kids, take them to see it! If you don't have kids, still, GO SEE IT! I promise you'll have a great time!
