Incredibles

The Incredibles is probably one of my favorite movies of all time. I know it's kind of cheesy to classify an animated flick in that type of category but really, it's a movie that I continue to laugh and thoroughly enjoy. Even when the boy isn't watching it with me. It's hands down the best animated film of all time. It's great when super heroes get old and settle down and it really nails the conflicts that most of us encounter within ourselves all the time. It's a novel way to bring light to some of the issues that we end up experiencing as we get older: the contentment issues we face with the daily grind, the esteem issues we face with loss of hair, love handles and hips, and the strength of family. And the movie presents it in such a light hearted way that it touches me on several levels. Friday night watching a cartoon, that's my life! I do supplement it with a little vodka-redbull which really brings out the nuances of the movie ;-)
