atraxia and I went to see the new Disney flick The Princess and the Frog yesterday. Immediately after viewing the movie I was filled with something akin to righteous indignation about what I'd sat through, but as I've had time to mellow out all I really want to say about it is a)it's a pretty bad movie and b) the song playing over the credits was perfomed by Ne-Yo, which atraxia impressively guessed right off the bat (frankly Ne-Yo, Omarion, Chris Brown, and all those kids sound the same to me anyway).
I'm pooped right now so I'm not going to pull out the bullet points (unless prompted, because OMG I sort of want to) but the songs were awful, the characters were trite, the storyline was full of so many blatant holes and ridiculousness I spent a lot of time rolling my eyes (example - "we have to accomplish this task by midnight or we're royally screwed! let's take a riverboat ride to our destination and relax while watching this character play in a ragtime band! cue a happy song even though we're supposed to be building tension!"), and (AND!), why does the black heroine keep spouting the benefits of hard work? It really rubbed me the wrong way, particularly when she ended up accomplishing her goal through simple *luck*.
Just, yeah. Not a good movie. Is Sherlock Holmes out yet?
