Don't expect too much...

The previews make it look like this film will take the book and original animated short film to new and dazzling heights, but the reality is, that they couldn't do that. The songs aren't as good, the story gets lost, and pays too much attention to the new character of Mr. O'Hare, and even tries to paint the Onceler as something of a good guy? How can you hire Taylor Swift to do a voice in a film with songs and not have her sing a song? It must be due to some sort of corporate contract...funny how that could happen in a movie about the evils of corporate control of our lives. I think the beloved Dr. Seuss would not have loved this movie, and I didn't either. $82 to take my whole family. The kids liked it enough, but mom and dad could have waited for the video...
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I saw CWACOM with my wife, 7-year-old daughter, and 3.5-year-old twins. My son laughed out loud the most, but we all found something to love about this film. Smart, thoughtful, with layers of messagees, but none too heavy-handed. This is a slightly different Chewandswallow than in the book, but very respectfully inspired by one of my kid's favorites--they were neither confused or bothered by the differences. I would see it again and recommend it to all. I look forward to the day it can be a part of the family collection, but worth a trip to the theater, especially if you like the 3-D (we see it flat for the little ones--3-D glasses are too much for the toddlers.)
Yes, I recommend this movie.
