Review by:

The story begins with an intorduction to the superheroes. Each one has a power which they use to fight evil. But when the heroes can't help everyone, the people get angry... Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, and Frozone among others, decide to pack up the bags and become what they have never been: Normal... Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible) and Helen Parr (Elastigirl) have three kids: Violet, (Who can create force feilds and turn invisible) Dash, (Who can move at superspeed) and Jack Jack (the baby) who doesn't have a super power. Anyway, Bob has always tried to do his best at his job, but if he gets angry, he may take it out and reveal his super powers... which would mean the family has to move. Again. When he gets fired he doesn't want to tell Helen, but before he gets a chance, he gets another job opportunity... a maniac machine needs to be destroyed...
"The Incredibles" is a great movie. It's got a plot and colorful characters kids will love and relate too, and has great humor that adults will laugh out loud for. The only really bad attribute I can think of is the characters often, uh, argue, which gets annoying pretty fast. And kids might not be able to sit through a 2 hour movie, no matter how good it is. But still, I suggest you go see it.

Note: I barely told you anything about the plot. It keeps developing and changing throughout t he story. I've barey scratched the tip of the iceburg. They eventually run into a bad guy and the whole family has to fight him. (Including Violet and Dash.)

Rated For:
Violence: It's a lot of bloodless punch-and-kick type stuff. Totally not a problem.

Sexual and Nudity: There's a bit of a side plot where Helen (Elastigirl) is scared that Bob (Mr. Increible) is cheating on her, and there is some kissing. And there is a short butt pinching scene (Can I call it that?)(between Bob and Helen) but it's pretty hard for kids to catch. I'm making it sound worse then it is. No nudity.

Language: None

Offence to Chirstianity: About 4 "Oh My Gods" all by Edna (Did Elastigirl have any? I don't think so...)

Other: There is a skeleton that Bob (Mr. Incredible) hides behind...yeah.

Cornfeild's Rating: PG

Quotes:

first lines Mr. Incredible: "Is this on? I mean, can break through walls, I just can't... can't get this on... "

Lucius Best: "Superladies, they're always trying to tell you their secret identity. Think it'll strengthen the relationship, or something like that."

Bob Parr: Bob is helping an old woman find a loophole in her insurance policy
very loudly "I'm sorry, ma'am, but I can't help you. I know you're upset..."

Helen Parr: "It's a ceremony."
Bob Parr: "It's psychotic! They keep creating new ways to celebrate mediocrity."

Lucius Best: "So now I am in deep trouble. I mean one more jolt of this death ray and I am an epitaph. Somehow I manage to find cover, and what does Baron von Ruthless do? He starts monologuing! He starts like this prepared speech about how feeble I am compared to him, how inevitable my defeat is, how the world will soon be his."
