This is a fantastic story. Too bad the makers of it didn't invest in great writers. I know the cast is super talented, but I felt at moments that both Ruffalo and Laurie were miscast. But the dialogue at times was just plain bad. Things were said two or three times that should not have been said at all - like the audience was too stupid to understand unless they spelled things out explicitly. Still, it's worth a watch just because the story is excellent, and other than the occasionally bad writing, the rest of the film is enjoyable. Most viewers will like it - only snobs like me will find any issues with it.

The script is weak and the moralizing has no end. Only the rich are responsible for their own actions.

The story is so convoluted, the songs so forgettable and the dialogue, (especially for Olaf, who is supposed to be funny for kids), so....uh - randomly philosophical that this movie is practically worthless for entertainment value. There are some nice scenes visually.... Scenes that remind me of the light show at Disney World. But, man - from the very beginning of this movie it was hard not to tune out. Just...was this really worth the money they put into it?
