Zootopia 2- Witty Sequel!

Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps are on a roll! Zootopia 2 is everything the suits needed it to be, and the whole afternoon in the theater was much more fun than anything found in Moana 2... or even Frozen 2. In fact, it was much more enjoyable than just about anything the Walt Disney Company or even Pixar has put on in years. Yes, the kids laughed and so did all the adults. 

Jason Bateman and Ginnifer Goodwin are the strongest pair of lead characters since Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi showed everyone how it was done in the animated Rapunzel film, Tangled.

Zootopia 2 may not make you look at snakes in an entirely different way, but it is a very pleasant way to spend an afternoon. Bring on the next part of the series. Honestly, now I'd like to go to Shanghai Disneyland and see the Zootopia world in 3D. That is saying something!

Something Borrowed, Someone Blue

Behind the clean cut images and the party like atmosphere, the new romantic film Something Borrowed is actually a morality tale told by (for?) a group of 30 somethings that are rewriting the dating and marriage rules.

Confusion reigns as Rachel (Ginnifer Goodwin) longs for Dex (Colin Egglesfield), the fiance of long time best gal pal Darcy (Kate Hudson). In the first few minutes, Rachel finally does have sex with him only to discover...no more spoilers here.

Let's just say the film is interesting and mostly holds the attention of the audience. With enough twists and turns, no one is exactly what they seem or really very happy. Seems no one grows up from the experience, with the self-focused and shallow Darcy remaining exactly that. Kate Hudson plays her to perfect myopic effect.

Go see it just to watch The Office's John Krasinski- he's warped, too, but at least he knows it.
