Madagascar 2: Escape from the Movie Theatre

While my parents are here from the UK we all took the boys (Adam, almost 6 and Alex, 3 1/2) to see Madagascar 2. Since they liked the first one so much and have watched it repeatedly on DVD we had high hopes, which were sadly dashed. Its a poor reflection on filmmakers when a movie for young kids has to resort to gun pointing and repeated (and it could be argued – senseless) violence to get laughs. Do yourself and your kids a favor, give it a miss.

Note to Notes Designers

notes1Hey Lotus Notes designers! IA 101 – don’t put a menu choice I use all the time (Open Calendar For…) next to one that I never use (Import Holidays…) that takes 30 seconds to perform with no way to abort! Bad design.
