Too much of a fair thing

How many endless battles between automated metal beings can you stand? If you attend Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, you're about to test your endurance. If you're between age 10 and 20-something, you may be able to tolerate 2 and a half hours of computer-generated mayhem. The crowd in our theater, most of whom were in that demographic, certainly did, and apparently enjoyed it. As for me, at the wrong end of the demographic spectrum, I was ready to exit at an hour. Too much gratuitous CGI. A skeletal plot overlaid with a few light moments for leavening. The producers no doubt will be rewarded financially for producing this film, but don't reserve any seats for them at the Kodak Theater in February.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Pleasant, classy, mildly funny

Imagine That is thoroughly enjoyable though not thigh-slapping funny. It's a cut above recent Eddie Murphy movies. There are glimmers of the old Eddie ala Beverly Hills Cops, but the basic premise is so absurd that it lacks some grounding in reality. The movie's moral compass is pointed in the right direction, and it's suitable for all but the most delicate juvenile eyes.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
