Rugrats in Paris

I thought it was a fine movie, suitable for children and adults. If you're like Coco LaBouche, however, you probably won't like it. Too bad for you, then.

Although my kids are rather older than Angelica and her dumb ol' babies, I find I relate to the adult characters, and, as a recently widowed father, particularly to Chaz. The plot of the movie provided stimulation for some meaningful conversations with my 9-year old son that might not have occurred otherwise.

My son loved the film, and pronounced it, on a scale of 1-10, a 20. I loved the movie parodies, as well as the humor that went over my son's head (he was unfamiliar with the phrase "to lose one's lunch" and so missed a rather gross joke ...).

All in all, it seems that, on the heels of their unexpected success with the first feature-length film, someone in the creative team said, "And how much more can we gross if we give this one a *plot*, too?". The result worked MUCH better than the first film.

Can't wait to own a copy.
