Fantastic Mr. Fox

This movie is bloody brilliant! Is bloody a cuss? I think it's like saying the f-word...I often ponder this...I suppose I could Google it...eh.

So this movie made me laugh, made me cry (I don't think I cried, I did when I watched UP though, I cried like 5 times during that movie, like sobbing!) This is one of those movies that makes me appreciate simple things, like when you have wine, cheese, grapes and bread and you've never had a more satisfying meal, little french phrases, the endearing elegance of Mr. Fox, the detail and attention that went into this film, I love when things as such are created and I can enjoy them as though they were made just for me. And they were, people like me anyway.

I'm not sure if it's a kids movie, it's like The Royal Tenenbaums...for kids, for realz, it was made/produced/whatever by Wes Anderson. George Clooney was phenomenal (I heard he helped direct), and my fave character was probably Cousin Kristoffersen, although I liked Coach too, and good ol Mr. Fox, and Ash, and Mrs. Fox, and the minnow guy, the badger, the rat...oh they're all great.

I like to think I would have enjoyed this as a youngster but I'm not sure I would have understood the subtle nuances and layers of humor, but maybe I get those layers even more because Ive hung out with kids so much...If you're into Wes Anderson you need to watch this movie, you can pretend your 10 years old if you want, or enjoy it as an adult, as I did.
