When I take my family to the movies I am not looking for well developed characters with intricate plots. I am looking for a little escapism, a few laughs and hopely something everyone willstay awake through. SO I admit my expectations are normally low for these types of movies. But, mall cop entertained. We were all in on the farce, but it provided lots of laughter for everyone from my 9 year old daughter and 12 year old son to my wife and I who ae considerly older. A good family movie.

The movie was visually great and sociologocially revealing. The portrayal of New Orleans during the early 20th century was very interesting to watch. Also, the fact that the movie showed interaction with so many older people was great, as we rarely get to see this on film.

A great movie that motivates you to think. Heck, researching the name took me two days to figure out the refence:-)
