Tangled

The legendary tale of Rapunzel is told with the touch of the fairytale masters hand; Disney. You all know the story; Rapunzel and all of her flowing, golden locks is kept in a tower by her evil step-mother until a prince, or outlaw, comes along and shows her the world outside.

Solid addition to the Disney princess movie lineup (although I liked Princess and the Frog better). I think it's kind of dumb they changed the name of the movie from Rapunzel to Tangled in order to attract more boys. But that aside this was a very well done and very fun movie. I thought they went just a little too far on the adult humor side and a little too far away from the classic princess tale, but not a huge complaint. The music is made for Broadway, so don't be surprised to see it there soon (the song on the water at the mid point of the movie is very good). The characters are likable, although I thought the villain wasn't quite evil enough. The look of the movie is beautiful, it's what I always imagined the classic hand-drawn Disney movies to look like in CG and 3D. Fun time at the movies and well worth a visit to the theater.

*** out of 4 - See it

Mandy, you should totally come to Texas. It would be fun and we haven't seen each other for along time. We're not coming to California any time soon. Seriously, you should come!!
