A Monster of a Movie

Saw the movie Monster House tonight. While ostensibly marketed as a children's film, this is an excellent fantasy/horror film. Sure it's animated and the main characters are young teenagers (or tweens, more likely), but it's not simply a children's film. The 3-D animation is excellent, and more importantly, there's a really good story behind it. It's an interesting story, cleverly written. I found myself enjoying this as much -- if not more -- than any film I've seen this summer. I'd highly recommend parents taking their kids to see it; I think both the kids and the adults will enjoy it.
