Charlotte's Web - Cry me a River

I just watched Charlotte's Web over the weekend with my sister and Nephews.

Although it's no masterpiece, and probably will be dismissed as tear-jerk fodder, I found it to be not only charming, but wildly funny.


The dialog between the two crows in the movie had me rolling falloff falloff, and the British "sheep" were almost as funny.
Example of the dialogue between the crows:
[speaking about a scarecrow who they think is real]
Crow 1: He hasn't moved in two days!
Crow 2: He's a freak of nature!
Crow 1: creepy!

falloff

And when Charlotte started to die, I found myself fighting back tears bawl

Not since dumbo or Forest Gump have I fought back tears bawl






It was an Entertaining Flick. nod
Maybe I enjoyed it so much because I was expecting so little. shrug

This sounds good...at least better than the Chuck Norris version...Lets just say it's slightly different...replace the animals with the viet cong and bad acting and lots of killing...Damn now that I think about it was that Charlotte's web or was that Braddock missing in action 2? confuse

i used to watch the cartoon version when i was little and it would make me cry at the end.

I've seen the previews for this one and charlotte just looks too much like a real spider and that scares me. the cartoon spider was nice and fake looking and i could handle it. I don't think i'll be able to handle the new one. shake

The spider is very real looking, but Julia Robert's voice helps soften the blow, and the other animals who are repulsed by her turns into a sort of joke that helps soften the blow too.


But if you are really really creeped out by spiders, Charlotte may be too real looking to handle. lol

Yeah, i have a phobia about them. It's gotten better as I've gotten older but whenever the commercials come on for the movie, I have to change the channel. confused

maybe i'll be able to handle it in another ten years or so. neutral

This movie is CLASSIC!
