Most enjoyable summer PG flick
I watched this with my 5 and 8 years old kids, and my 28 years old cynical-New-Yorker baby sister. I'm in my mid 30's and normally prefer Fellini over Scorsese.All 4 of us enjoyed this movie on completely different levels. I was especially melted by my kids' reactions - that's an additional show that every parent will enjoy.
Don't look for the artsy motives - just enjoy the robust fun and laughter, beautiful special effects and a quick romp through world history. My kids are now quoting a few one-liners and throwing around names of historic figures, which gave me an opportunity to explain about a few of them in off-the-cuff kind of way. My sis and I, on the other hand, are quoting swanky lines from Amy Adams character, who just finalized her pigeon hole for the rest of her career.
Enjoy!!
