Me and the Missus just watched this right after breakfast. Great flick for the morning. Mixture of Broadcast News and Rocky. Solid FOUR STARS. Harrison Ford's wooden acting used to great advantage. Dianne Keaton pitch perfect. Rachel McAdams' character finally gets her bangs (and her life) under control by the end of the movie. Very peppy.
A bunch has been written about this animated feature by the critics, and all of it encouraging or even laudatory.
If you see this film, please review in comments here. Thanks.
Lionsgate’s Challenge - Marketing the Grim ‘Push - Based on the Novel by Sapphire’ to Audiences Seeking Fluff.
The story centers on an illiterate and obese African-American teenager in 1980s Harlem who is pregnant with her father’s child — for the second time — and is also abused by her mother.
Marketing challenge. Right. Ya know what? They could sell ground glass as a refreshment in the lobby while the movie is playing.
