Today was the last day of school! Yeah, summer holidays! The sad thing is that we had school for an extra week while most other schools in Australia ended 2 weeks ago. Anyways, It's a tradition that during the last day of school all of the students are taken to the beach for a picnic and a swim. Sadly, the Australian weather has been harsh and it decided to rain. So instead, the school took us to the movies. But, we had to watch Puss In Boots, while the seniors got to watch Jack and Jill (Adam Sandler). Yeah, the last day of school was a bummer, but at least we got to wear mufti instead of our heavy knee length skirts and uncomfortable polo shirts. Blegh!
Now that it's the summer holidays I realized that I'm going to be going to the movies a lot more often than i used to since that seems to be the result my family comes to when we have nothing to do for the weekend. So I'm hoping I'll be able to review a few more movies for you to enjoy instead of you going to see a dud moving picture. And I won't only be reviewing the movies that are currently in the cinemas, I might do a few DVDs too since we are close to a Video Ezy.
ANYWAYS... as you can tell from the title I'm going to write a quick movie review on Puss In Boots because there's nothing else for me to do.So here goes...
The beloved character from the Shrek movie franchise is back in his own tail of adventure (ha-ha please excuse the pun). With his boots on his paws and sword in his belt, Puss in Boots sets out to retrieve the golden eggs, along with two companions, Humpty Alexander Dumpty and Kitty Softpaws. But the notorious Jack and Jill stands in their way and an age old feud between Puss and Humpty is still fresh in their midst. As well as sword fights and dance fights, the movie also explains the life of Puss, and how he earned his famous boots.
So I wrote all that to make the movie sound good, but in all honesty, it just wasn't my type of movie. I guess that's because the movie is for little children. It wasn't that bad though. There are a lot of funny parts that keep you interested and features Puss in boots' famous wide eye stare, and since the movie shows his child hood years, the cuteness factor goes to a million:
The plot does seem to be a little all over the place but does make sense at the end. The Spanish-type music in the film is beautiful and really makes you feel like getting up and dancing the flamenco. Antonio Banderas (Puss), Salma Hayek (Kitty), Zack Galifianakis (Humpty), Billy Bob Thornton(Jack) and Amy Sedaris(Jill) did quite well for the voices of their characters and made them more believable. And that one cat that kept going "Oooohhhh" while Puss and Kitty were talking was hilarious.
All in all the movie is funny (not the funniest but funny enough), cute and pretty entertaining.If you've got nagging little children around you, take them to the cinemas soon because watching this will definitely keep them happy. It will be more fun watching it with little children then with teenager. I have to give Puss In Boots 3.5 out of 5.
Stay tuned for more...
