Aaaaaaaah.

Horton Hears A Who - 7/10. Jim Carrey plays an overly-endearing version of Aladdin's Genie. To, er, explain things: in Aladdin, the Genie was manic because he was trapped in a hole for, uh, a thousand years or something and he also wanted his freedom or something and what I'm saying is that's an excuse to be a little excited and to perhaps fly off the handle. The mayor's frantic because his whole world's being turned upside down and so, since he's not given a reason, Horton's just sort of annoying because that's the way we do things, all right. It's not sincere. The best moments are stuffed between the bigger moments. Reaction shots, throwaway lines, and Katie, who is the character find of forever. The bigger the movie tries to be, the less it works and, well, it just shouldn't have tried so hard. Also, there seems to be some sort of anti-secular message that's replaced its anti-racist message and, uh, i'm not into that Jesus shit, all right?
