I wasn’t looking forward to Ratatouille much, but the idea’s been growing on me. It’ll be something nice to take the kids to see.

I thought Evan Almighty could be a lot of fun, but I bet they tried too hard to make a straightahead family movie, rather than something *funny*. They’ve been ramming it down everyone’s throats at all of the Christian music summer festivals.
