Not just for kids
I played the role of babysitter when I took my two nieces to see "Staurt Little" at the movies. I wasn't expecting much as I assumed it was one of those movies aimed specifically at the 4-10 age group. But by the end, I thought I had enjoyed it more than any kid in the theater that day. I found the movie hilariously funny and very entertaining. The computer graphics that made that little mouse come to life was simply amazing and the attention to the sublte details was even more impressive. The script and plot of the movie is pretty simplistic and the movie should really only be taken for it's novelty value as it's concept and animation are highly original. There is no 'deep and meaningful' theme behind it and that's probably what makes it such a success. It's nothing but pure fun!As usual, Geena davis shines in the movie and Jonathan Lipnicki is as adorable as the kid he played in "Jerry Maguire". The voice of the little mouse is played superbly by Micheal J. Fox and the original screenplay was cowritten by M. Night Shyamalan who also wrote and directed last year's blockbuster "The Sixth Sense".In all, a great movie for the whole family to enjoy, not just the kids.
