We took Jake to see Shrek 2 yesterday. You can talk to Ike about the review--he gives it a six. But here's what I saw: a movie that Jake sat through the entire time, talking very little. (Especially compared to how much the mother next to us talked. I have this pet peeve--I hate it when people feel like they have to tell everyone else in the movie theater what's happening. Dammit, I'm watching the movie too.) Anyway, it was a movie Jake enjoyed AND this morning we talked about Princess Fiona. He said, "She's cool. And she's pretty. And she's mean."
Ok, to him, "mean" is a good thing right now. Or anyway, in the context of our discussion it was. Here's my thing about Shrek. I applaud a movie that has a kick-ass heroine who is happier as herself than she is as a skinny helpless princess. So stick THAT in your ear, Snow Wimpy White.
