Review of Megamind

Megamind (2010)
1/10
Not a good choice for young girls

Warning: Spoilers
Just got home from seeing this movie with my 8 and 6-year old daughters. Where do I begin? We all thought this movie was boring and way too long. A lot of the humor in the movie was above my kids' heads. However, my biggest problem with this movie is that the entire plot revolved around several male characters (heros and villains) are all vying for the affection of one unrealistically large-breasted, doe-eyed woman who must be rescued by the men. The movie also contained typical unhealthy body stereotypes... the woman has huge boobs, tiny body, perfect face, huge eyes, etc. The hero(s) have huge muscles and "perfect" bodies, and the villains/nerds are either scrawny or fat. Another complaint I have with this movie is that they reveal that the tooth fairy and Easter bunny are not real. I mean SERIOUSLY, why do they have to say that in a kid's movie!?!? I would like my daughters to maintain their innocence as long as possible. I'm sure a lot of people will tell me to lighten up, but I feel so compelled to post this for other parents of young girls who might want to know what they are getting in to before they see this movie. And my girls thought it was boring anyway.
