Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

[Strangler Lewis]

"Young Adult" was better than the typical Adam Sandlerish "If I could only return to my youth" stuff, but it still seemed a little broad, and I'm not sure that I bought the lead character. The Patton Oswalt character was something new and worth the price of admission.

"We Bought a Zoo" was the best movie I'd ever seen about a family that bought a zoo. Good fun and reasonably involving even if none of its dramatic plot lines amount to much at the end of the day. I'm on the fence about where it belongs in the developing oeuvre of "Matt Damon as paunchy, put-upon widower" films.
