I was incredibly impressed with "The Incredibles":http://www.theincredibles.com/, despite my well-known aversion to animated kiddie-fare. I never saw the "Toy":http://www.metacritic.com/video/titles/toystory/ "Stories":http://www.metacritic.com/video/titles/toystory2/, and "Finding Nemo":http://www.metacritic.com/video/titles/findingnemo/'s story was stale and Albert Brooks was insufferable, but this film is different -- it's funny, unexpected, and multi-layered. It's part _James Bond_, part _Spy Kids_ (never saw those either), and part _Rocky V_ -- that is, what happens after the glory days have passed you by. The good news is, this film is nothing like Rocky V. What can I say? I'm a suckah for "Holly Hunter":http://imdb.com/name/nm0000456/ and her gravelly Georgia drawl. For a contrast to her motherly warmth in this film, go rent "Crash":http://imdb.com/title/tt0115964/... talk about range.
