Wonderful movie that appeals to all ages

Rating: 9/10 (10 November 2003)

I thought this movie was well made in several different ways. Every child in my cinema loved it. It was a childrens movie and it was a very good one. It didnt have anything inappropriate or lewd. At the same time though it appealed to the older audience members too, which, at 10:00, was the majority. Ferrell had a solid performance, marked with his usual over-the-top style. It has great writing for a childrens movie, nothing too deep, but enjoyable. Quotes have found their way into many conversations at school, so it isn't just a kids movie. Notable appearances include KG and Andy Richter as writers. Best movie I've seen since Lost in Translation. 8/10
