This is certainly not kid-fare

Rating: 1/10 (28 December 2002)

I don't have the words to describe how much I hated this movie. As I sat there with my three small children, I cringed at what they were witnessing. Lilo was a brat who attacked and bit another little girl in her first scene. She and her sister screamed at each other in a fit of rage, then upon making up concluded, "That's how sisters act" or something like that. There was the threat of the small family being ripped apart during the entire movie. Stitch was not cute in the least. The scene of him being run over by an 18-wheeler was surely terrifying for small children. The only comic relief came from the 2 aliens sent to retrieve Stitch. And although they were quite funny, they certainly couldn't redeem the entire movie. Finally at the end, Stitch redeems himself and it appears that the family will stay together, but it was too little too late. And there was way to much violence, yelling, bad behavior, etc. for small children to be witnessing. My children will never see this movie again.
