Do we really need a 2011 Pooh that sounds EXACTLY like Sterling Holloway? This film was a serious underachievement. Why not just re-release the old stuff theatrically again instead of remaking it? Whimsy is really hard to do right. This is so calculated, it's kind of disturbing.

... that it was kinda ridiculous.

Also, how come nobody heard that gun go off in the jewelry store? There are some other logical gaffes as well. But it's really just about feeling bad, which you definitely do when you come out of this one.

Same phenomenon, different movie:

Lodging deep within the brains of millions of prepubescent youths, JACK AND THE WITCH is one of those movies you see on some UHF station's afternoon movie timeslot when you're home from school with a fever or it's a rainy summer day or you're stuck at the relatives and are aimlessly turning the knobs on that giant woodgrained RCA monster - the knobs make that satisfying "klunk" as you switch from channel 2 to channel 3, and you have to fiddle with the tint once you get up into those rabbit-ear channels, and you sit there by the set inhaling ozone and faint scorched plastic until things look just right.

Funny ...

Holy shit. The most lucid, honest and funny dissection of TLA:. Many priceless quotes, e.g. "There are plenty of bad movies that know they're bad — but TLA is the first bad movie that knows that you are bad. You deserve your full share of the blame for this movie's existence."

So glad I saw this movie so I can read this and cry tears of laughter!
