Great kids' movie (and I liked it, too)
2 of 2 found this helpful Robin Williams is hilarious as the genie. I bought this movie for my grandson (age 5) and we've watched it at least five times. It is very entertaining, and the message 'be yourself' is positively enforced.
My grandson also loved the game included in the 2-disc version. He was so excited to virtually ride the magic carpet.

The Aviator
1 of 1 found this helpful I wanted to see this movie when it was in theaters, but missed it! When I heard that the movie was nominated for 11 Academy Awards, and that Cate Blanchette won for best supporting actress, I decided to buy the DVD.
Wow! It's rare that I see a movie that both educates and entertains like this one. Before I saw the movie, all I really knew about Howard Hughes was that he became a nutty, wealthy hermit. The movie showed me that he was not only nutty and rich; the man was brilliant. The acting was great, with well-known actors in near cameos, and the special effects were totally believable. I also loved the music from the 1920's, 1930's, and 1940's.
The 'bonus features' included with the 2-DVD set are phenomenal, and include an entire History Channel biography of Hughes' aeronautical achievements. There are also segments dealing with OCD--how it is treated today, as opposed to Hughes' undiagnosed case. I may have developed a little OCD myself--I keep asking people over to see The Aviator so that I have an excuse to watch it again myself.
