Tinsley: 2 Thumbs Up for — “Washed Away”
Jesse Tinsley: Just saw "Flushed Away" with my kids. Very entertaining in a Dreamworks sort of way. Similar to "Shrek", it inserts little snippets of pop songs, mostly sung by slugs, throughout the movie. Several jabs at Disney. It has a cute love story and some good voice on the leads. Lots of slapstick and adventure. I've been suckered into seeing a lot of bad kid flicks, including "Hoodwinked", "Spongebob", "Dougal" and "Curious George". "Flushed Away" was worth the matinee tickets.
DFO: I appreciate reviews by HBO commenters because they don't get into all the hookum about artistic license and form, etc. I want to know, if it's worth $8 at the cinema or if I should wait for it to come out on DVD. I'm always on the lookout for a good review. Thanks, JT.
