Should be called "How to Indoctrinate the Children"

Rating: 4/10 (20 August 2010)

I was appalled by the unspoken message of this movie: If we just show kindness and understanding for our enemies, they will stop attacking us and become our friends. In fairy tales that kind of namby-pamby wishful thinking works, but in real life it's likely to get you killed. Unfortunately, impressionable children will be viewing this movie and internalizing this dangerously naive message. Some would say that the world would be a better place if we would all just stop fighting and show understanding for one another. Yes, it would. However, I'm pretty sure that terrorists and tyrants aren't going to be as cooperative as the fictional characters in this movie. My grandchildren enjoyed the movie, but I'm very sorry I took them to see it.
