WALL*E

This was pretty much as cute as it looks. I wouldn't say it was as much an all-around cute-fest of, say, a Monster's Inc. or a Finding Nemo or an A Bug's Life or ... okay, most any of the Pixar movies that came before it -- largely perhaps because it didn't have the menagerie of characters to amuse and entertain us, thus fewer opportunities for adorable antics while exploring subplots -- but what you see is what you get. A lonely and industrious trash compactor finds love and follows her to the ends of the universe to win her over. There's one subplot that is so extremely slight it could probably be lost by many of the smaller movie-goers (and perhaps some of their parents), but the main plot holds your attention just fine. Verdict: Movie Rental
