The Princess and the Frog (2009)
The Frogs are Adorable!
The Princess and the Frog is actually a really enjoyable family cartoon. It's not the typical Disney cartoon where the princess is born into wealth, falls in love and lives happily ever after. I liked how the message this movie gives kids is totally different, showing that a person can love, be happy, and work to get what they want. Unlike the other Disney cartoons, the main focus of the girl was not a guy but to accomplish her goal, and then she fell in love in the process. All the characters are very lovable (I'm not very fond of the villain, though, in comparison to Ursula, Scar, etc.), the comedy is in the right amount and the story is sweet. It is very different from the older Disney cartoons, and the songs in this one are not as good, but still its a good watch.
The New Daughter (2009)
Not interesting
So, I'd be lying if I said I expected anything more than it actually was. The movie was a bit typical - we are introduced to a single parent, the family has just moved to a deserted place, and then something awful happens. Honestly, unlike other slow movies, this movie lost me halfway. I completely lost interest but I gave the movie a chance before judging it. Costner's acting as a stressed father was believable, but all the other aspects of the movie were not. I can't speak for everyone, there are some people out there who actually enjoyed watching this. For those of you who like movies that make sense in the end, avoid watching this one.
