Susan Marlowe CPA Reblogs: ‘Epic’ criticized for being too kid-friendly
“Shrek thinks he’s compensating for something, which I think means that he has a really little…,” the loveable, chatterbox Donkey infers in the blockbuster film Shrek, generating hearty laughs from the adults in the audience. The kids in the crowd join in the laughter – the only difference is they do not understand why they are laughing.
Humour for adults, usually in the form of double entendres, has become commonplace in recent hit family films. So much so that the apparent absence of off-colour jokes in the new release Epic was jarring enough to m
ake it the focal point of Bruce Kirkland of QMI Agency’s review.
Filed under the headline, “‘Epic’ has nothing much for adults”, the review focussed on what the film lacks for its secondary audience rather than leading with what would matter most to its target audience — children. By way of omission…

Susan Marlowe CPA and the classic movie kid party
Hi there from Susan Marlowe CPA!
Well, I hosted a great kids party for my nieces and nephews and their friends. I showed them The Adventures of Robin Hood, the Errol Flynn version. It was a huge hit for everyone. I made some great felt Robin Hood hats for everyone (my nieces wanted them too, which was awesome!) and we ate turkey legs and drank grape juice.

Hayao Miyazaki’s Kiki’s Delivery Service is a family film in every sense: it is a bright, friendly, delightful story that is easy enough for children to follow, and it is compelling and mature enough, to the point of being conspicuous, that adults should have no trouble staying interested as well. The movie is a classic, and this beginning-to-end delight deserves not simply to be watched but to be cherished and highly valued.

Good write-up!
-Susan Marlowe CPA
Unfortunately, that is my highest compliment. Although Oz, the Great and Powerful succeeds in pleasing their demographic–I was left wanting. With that said, I am sure many will love this film and kids (especially) will enjoy the story and beautiful imagery.
First of all, I should state that I like The Wizard of Oz, but I am not a fanatic about it. The new Oz follows its lead in being a wholesome family film, but it does not even get close to its classic status. While some felt that Disney was taking a gamble in trying to reboot a beloved classic, it seems to have paid off for them (sequel is already in the works). Hey, they have to make the $$$.
So, why wanting? For me, it was a bit one dimensional. Everything looked great and paid homage to the original (more based on novel, than the 1939 film because of…
