Fneh.
Under three circumstances is this movie not "fneh".
1) If the admittedly stunning animation carries you through the long pauses where no one says anything.
2) If you enjoy seeing a movie try to shoehorn its awkward title into dialogue as often as possible.
3) If you are the rest of my family.

Corpse Bride

Certainly no Ghostbusters 2.
Also fneh:
1. An infinite number of death puns -- although I liked the interpretation of "Second Hand Store."
2. The ending (which I won't give away). It was as if Burton just said, "Well, I just don't know what the frig to do with this character, so..." It does symbolically link back to the opening title sequence, but I thought in terms of character arc it made no sense.
3. The songs. For some reason it works with "The Lion King" and "Chicago," but every time I heard the music swell in "Corpse Bride," I got annoyed at the prospect of another uninspiring, unmemorable tune.
EW Grade: F-(neh)
Okay, more like C-(neh).
What's that in Star Trek (The Prime Directive?) where they don't want to be an overriding influence on a alien planets culture and history.
For some reason as a father I have adopted a similiar strategy. I like to think I'm able to stay out of the way of my offsprings natural evolution.
Thus after a movie I kind of withold my true opinions in the interest of letting them form their own.
Little did I know that it would come up and bite me in the ---. (Yes I do not want to influence them in the category of bad language either)
What a way for a father to find out that his son didn't really like Corpse Bride!
What's next Geoff? A tell all autobiography, Daddy Dearest.
Now I'm beginning to wonder if you really do love it when I comment on your cute little comedy group's blog.
