CALL ME SNAKE

Today “At the Movies” will be reviewing “Curious George,” which came out earlier this year but, owing to a backlog, we’re just getting to now. Thanks for your patience. Richard Roeper of “Ebert and Roeper At the Movies” (a show that stole the name “At the Movies” from this blog) gave the picture thumbs down, saying he really couldn’t recommend it for adults. That was a rather dubious argument given that the movie was clearly not intended for adults. So what did the four-year-old expert in my household have to say about the film? She thought it was “pretty good.” Her main complaint, though she still gave the picture a qualified thumbs up, was that “Curious George wasn’t curious.”
