    I remember that like it was yesterday.

    There are a LOT of characters (and stars) in this movie and it runs a little long. But when I saw the ending I understood why attention had been paid to the various storylines.

    Nothing against Harry Belafonte but his character is an example of one that could have been cut from the movie.

    Emilio put his father in the picture which was a distraction. I wanted to think he was playing a Kennedy, but he wasn't.

    I always thought RFK was shot in the ballroom of the hotel. The film shows him coming down from his speech and going into the kitchen to greet the kitchen workers. That's where he was shot.

    It's amazing to me how *little* security Robert Kennedy had around him. It's almost unbelievable that Sirhan Sirhan was able to walk into the kitchen of that hotel, kill Kennedy, and harm many others. Especially given what had happened to President Kennedy and MLK.

    I mean, it fell to Rosie Greeer to take the gun away from Sirhan?? Where was this man's protection?

One scene towards the end went on way too long. The only part I liked was the "ABC" scene. Of Smith's movies I'd say it was the worst. Chasing Amy is his best work.

    Okay doesn't an action movie have to have I don't know maybe a little bit of action before the ending. The movie is about two hours and 15 minutes and literally nothing happens until a half hour to go. Very disappointing.

    My first impulse was to run out and buy the soundtrack. Maybe a little too much Robin Williams (how many characters did he voice, anyway?), but generally fun.

    I tried this near a decade ago and didn't like it at all. I think I was expecting it to be more silly and crazy fun, like the masterfully-done "A Muppet Family Christmas". But one of my UK Muppet pals sent me a DVD, I tried it again with an open mind and knowing it's not "silly crazy fun"---and OMG I love it. I cannot wait to watch it again! It's cute, it's charming, it's sweet, has touches of subtle humor and really "gets to ya". I love them cute li'l otters 'n river critters. (*sniff*)
