Movie Reviews of Jack & The Beanstalk
Movie Review: No need for hostility, really!
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted to jump into this and write a review mostly because of the overt hostility of two of the current reviewers. I guess I am at a loss for their angst. We rented it and my three kids (4,6,8) really liked it so we wanted to buy it and I stumbled on the horrible reviews. Another reviewer has done a nice job summarizing the story and characters but the brief review: This is a fun and family friendly movie for the late preschool crowd and up (the giant and his henchman might be scary for some early preschoolers or toddlers but they are overall pretty mild). It is not Shakespeare, it is not an action movie, it is simply a silly and fun little take on the Jack and the Beanstalk story. If you want something else or expect it, you will be disappointed. Yes the goose who lays the golden egg is Gilbert Gottfried but to comment on the one reviewers anger, I really think they cast a man in the role because Gilbert has such a distinctive voice and is recognized from many other children's characters especially birds like Cyberchase-Digit and Aladdin-Iago). I do not believe it should be a call to arms to boycott the movie. Sure they could have found a great female and sure it was a little weird having a male goose lay an egg but he did a great job and my kids did not make anything of it. I think there were some clever ideas thrown in there. The "COW" he sells is a computer game system like a playstation (COW is an acronym). Chevy Chases character is funny. The idea of Jack's dad being a hero by sacrifice is in there, also Jack does not know this initially so he is told by everyone he will amount to nothing but he overcomes this and believes in himself, making others believe in him as well. Not bad. Anyway a fun, silly movie to watch with the family.
