Review#2 Lilo & Stitch

Monkey: Lilo & stitch is about a girl who found a alien and they became good friends Lilo named the alien stitch.I think Lilo & Stitch is a good movie for kids and adults because its funny and serious at the same time. I don’t remember much about it, really.

Mommy: Despite Monkey confessing that he doesn’t remember much about this movie, he did really enjoy it at the time that he was watching. Honestly, I’m not sure why Monkey likes the Lilo & Stitch movie so much. The story line is accessible (e.g. characters introduced, challenge defined, characters face challenge, dilemma or crisis ensues, resolution); the characters are relatable (e.g. girl, alien best friend, protective sister); there’s some childish comedy sprinkled throughout. But… when I compare it to other animated films… it’s pretty bland. It’s an inoffensive movie with themes about family and friendship, but there’s nothing visually creative about the animation, the narrative is predictable, and the characters are mostly stereotypes. This is a movie for the younger kid, and one where the parent may have a hard time not reaching for their smartphone for a distraction.

    I remember loving Lilo & Stitch! And I remember definitely crying. It has a lot to do with family, so that’s what hit close to home for me. Maybe I will rewatch it soon –– inspired by your reviews.

    Lilo and Stitch!
    I only caught a small part of it so I couldn’t really say if it’s worth watching. But I love how cute they make Stitch looks. Nice blue fluffy animal with big ears and eyes. What a loving and funny creation for kids under 10 :}

    You both gave an honest opinion of this movie. I think I will pass on this one as there are so many good movies to be seen and you two have saved me from wasting time on it. Thank you for your honest blog. Keep it up. Great stuff.

    Thank you for reviewing Lilo and Stitch. I thought your observations are very accurate of the movie where a girl meets an alien and builds a friendship. You are right, there were very funny moments of Stitch (the alien) causing all sorts of trouble. Then there were the serious scenes, of following through and supporting friends that need help.
