Beyond expectations.

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2012)

I have two grandsons that I adore. I have been held hostage by many movies so it's nice to get one that's genuinely entertaining. This movie is beyond all expectations. It is funny for all ages. In particular, the humor aimed at adults is not off color or double entendre.
Non stop action. Lots of colorful fun. Many unique characters that make it not seem like just another variation. Great music.
A special mention for Sasha Baron Cohen. I don't normally think he's funny at all. He is a riot as King Julian. Especially this time around he falls in love with a big bear. There is one scene with them that is down right touching.
Highly recommend.
