Monday Movie Review: Small Foot

Hooray,  Its Monday. That means like most of you and the free world I got to hit the theaters over the weekend. I like to do this every weekend. I wanted to take a little bit of time to tell you my experience at the movie,. Just a minute to shed a little insight and perspective on Hollywood’s latest hit. Seeing a great movie in the theater can be life altering. It can also be an easy way to waste a couple of hours and 30 bucks. My hopes is that with a quick review from this self proclaim movie contasour I can save a few readers hours.  Or better yet, possibly change a few more lives. Today’s flick is the children’s movie Small Foot.

Small Foot;  27% Waste

Smallfoot is the latest in a long line of innocent kid movies set out to indoctrinate our kids with more liberal point of views.  Its a animated movie about a Yeti ( Channing Tatum) who lives a full, content and obnoxiously happy life in his Yetti village. His village is high in the mountain above the clouds. He has pride in role in the community and enjoys all the traditions, rituals and guides. HIs community is a wonderful eutopia of Yetis and everyone has a role to play. When he stumbles upon a human in a wrecked airplane, his thoughts and world are turned upside down. Fun, Fun, Fun.

The laws/religion of the village, which are a set of stones worn as a robe, says no such small foot ( humans) exist. Now our hero is pitted against himself to refute what he saw and go against the village’s stones or “stuff his thoughts and questions down” admitting he didn’t see a “small foot”. In essence this movie sets out to state that the laws, religions, histories and traditions of the past are wrong and only forced on everyone. As it turns out the towns elders have always know the truth and set the stones up as a way of safety and societal protection, which worked magnanimously up until now.

The Final Thought

I came away thinking, maybe ignorance is bliss.  I mean I have never seen a happier, healthier Yeti than in the first 5 mins of the movie. All metaphors and indoctrinations aside, it was bland and predictable at best.  It was a forgettable kids movie that even my 5 year old nephew was bored with. He was ready to leave by the third act. All in all Small Foot was a waste of 2 hours and $30 bucks. For me it gets a  %27 Waste of Time. Jaxon said 2 gummi worms, out of five..
