Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Ricardo Daly The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

kylehaines96 Director Gary Halvorson gives us the second Sesame Street Movie The Adventures Of Elmo In Grouchland. The film follows Elmo who after losing his special blanket winds up in an interesting place called Grouchland, a place where everyone is mean to each other. Elmos blanket is stolen by Huxley played by Mandy Patinkin who wants everything to be his to keep. The films story is nice for young viewers, Vanessa Williams and Mandy Patinkin's performances are lovely, and Jim Hensons Workshop does a great job as always with the puppets. This is a wonderful family film that I certainly recommend.Rated G.1hr 13min/73min.****/****

compo39 I think your thoughts that the movie missed its target is a load of crap. This movie is 1 of the cutest movies I've seen, im in my 20's and I thought it was so adorable, beats any other kids movie I've seen. Please, if any1 is going to rate a kids movie, make sure they know what they're talking about. Such stupid people out there...stupid 'so called' critics. I wonder what sort of car they drive or what their wives look like... yea exactly.. thats all i have to say really to make up for the 10 so called lines.. It may have made New Year's celebrations a little damp, but the rain that greeted revellers in some Australian cities was still welcome.And Australians will be hoping for more of it in 2007 to break the nation's drought, which experts have called the worst in 100 years.Despite the rain, hundreds of thousands of revellers attended traditional fireworks displays, concerts and dances around the country. It seemed revellers heeded warnings to behave, with police around the nation reporting few major problems.Most people in major cities also used public transport to avoid traffic problems.The country's biggest fireworks display - possibly the world's biggest - centred on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.More than a million people gathered along the harbour foreshore and on the water to watch the two fireworks shows.Children dressed up for the family show at 9 pm, whose theme was The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.The midnight fireworks show, which was billed as the biggest and best to date, lasted 13 minutes and featured pyrotechnics displays off CBD buildings, the bridge and harbourside locations.On his first visit to Sydney, New Zealander Quintin Thomas, 27, of Wellington, said he'd "seen the best night in the world"."It's the best New Year's I've ever had," Mr Thomas said."I saw it on TV and had to come and check it out."Fireworks off the buildings, off everything - that's class."More than 1,500 police patrolled popular Sydney areas including the Rocks, Circular Quay, Darling Harbour, Manly, Coogee and Bondi.In Canberra, the fireworks display went ahead despite major storms.An ACT police spokesman said a couple of thousand people gathered in the Civic district for fireworks and concerts.DJs entertained younger crowds, while a Beatles cover band played in the city's central square, Garema Place.In Melbourne there were record crowds of about 450,000 in the city despite rainy weather.About 50,000 attended a party at Federation Square and there were six party sites around the city, offering free entertainment.

Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) Everyone loves that furry, lovable red monster, Elmo. Ever since "Follow That Bird", "Elmo in Grouchland" is a way more colorful version for kids, and there's more fun to it. Elmo has this blanket that he loves very much, and after a tug-of-war with Zoe, Oscar the Grouch tosses the blanket after he blows his nose with it. Where does it goes, in Grouchland. On Sesame Street, there was a place called GrouchyTown. In this movie, Grouchland is being run by a really rude man named Huxley(Mandy Patankin). He the worst person to be around. When Elmo goes to Grouchland to retrieve his blanket, he meets some unusual characters there. He meets a girl grouch who his nothing like the others. Very kind, very neat, and very cooperative. Mostly grouches hate cooperation, even Oscar can bend the rules of his kind. When he was a resident there, he knew what it's like. So he got the grouches there to change their attitude's, and their ways a bit. Anthor character in the movie is the Queen of Trash(Vanessa L. Williams). I liked the part where Elmo had to do 100 Raspberries. She was also a friendly person there. This movie deals with sharing, while "Follow that Bird" deals with diversity. This movie is very good for kids, as well, and other generations to come. Rating 3 out of 5 stars!

BobThePizzaBoy In 1996, the Tickle-Me-Elmo doll was released and it was an immediate success. This resulted into Elmomania that swept the nation. A TV special, a 20-minute segment on "Sesame Street", many appearances on "The Rosie O'Donnel Show" and a movie.This film does have some good aspects however. There are some very funny bits with Ernie and Bert every 15 or minutes to help settle down intense or sad scenes for the children. These are the lead-in to some very funny jokes:ERNIE: No movie has a sad ending, Bert. BERT: Titanic. ERNIE: Hmmm?BERT: Titanic had a sad ending. ERNIE: Oh, come on, Bert! Roll film!BERT: Gone With The Wind had a sad ending.Huxey is also a very interesting character. Mandy Patakin can be a funny actor in this film. Especially when he talks about a velvet painting of Elvis Presly and "West Side Story".Also, the sets are amazing. Grouchland looks like something that would come right out of a cartoon and almost reminds me of "Ren & Stimpy" or one of those new Looney Tunes shorts Chuck Jones did in the 90's.And then, there are the bad parts. I can spend about 30 minutes of Elmo, maybe 40 minutes. But 70 minutes! It's crazy talk! And the plot is just coo-coo. Elmo goes into Oscar's can (he is illegally going on private property) because his blanket fell in it and then some guy takes it. Who cares if some guy lost his blanket? Who cares about some guy who won't share? And the absence of Ernie and Bert an the street is kind of unsettling.Overall rating: 6/10, was good but could have been better.
