This was hurting the family until a crisis made them to work together as a family again.
Originally Posted By Brer Rabbit Kirby, you gave it an A-, but I don't remember really reading any critiques in your review. What was the minor flaw that caused the slight downgrade? I was lucky enough to see it a few weeks back in a sneak peek and LOVED it - but was fortunate to see Brad Bird speak afterward as well, and I think maybe his articulate discussion of the finer points of the story won me over more than I would have been if I'd just seen it on its own. -nico
Originally Posted By ToonKirby I felt the story really took off once Mr. Incredible gets "back to business" ... up until then, the pacing seemed a tad off. One thing for sure, this film does have its own unique rhythmyn, unlike any other of its type.
