the Incredibles

Watched The Incredibles on Monday. I must say it is one of the best I have seen so far this year. Funny and clever with characters all of us can relate to. A must watch!


A story about a family of superheroes who have to keep their identities a secret to avoid civil lawsuits. Mr. Incredible finds his job a bore and pines for the good old villian butt-kicking days.His family is no less interesting. His wife Elastigirl(a soccer mum), and 2 kids Dash(a hyperactive brat) and Violet(a reticient wall flower) provide much of the charm of the movie.In the film, Bob gets pulled back to his heroic life, which inadvertently reconnects him with his family. With comic-book in-jokes, themes of middle-aged regret and a PG rating, The Incredibles might be the first Pixar film to appeal more to parents than kids. Of course, its explosive action is a blast, the characters are well-defined, and it has a big heart, too. Of special mention has to be Edna Node as quirky fashion designer to the superheroes! Hilarious stuff!
