As
a parent, I know there are two things most films invariably get wrong:
little kids and their mothers. Movie moms either bake cookies or smoke
cigarettes, and their Good Mother/Bad Mother status is assigned
accordingly. Meanwhile, their movie children spout world-weary
witticisms, wreak havoc (if they're boys) and grin cherubically (if
they're girls), and only have to pee if it's a comedy.
When a
movie gets parents and children right, it's a reason to add it to the
Netflix que. And it's one of the many reasons why this week's most
exciting new film release isn't Watchmen, but an amazing little indie
movie called Phoebe in Wonderland.
