The Incredibles

 

Years ago, superheroes abounded in society. But a series of mishaps, collateral damage, and lawsuits forced 'supers' to make their secret identity their only identity. Today, Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl are married with three children. She manages the house and children as he works a mundane insurance job- and yearns for the past. One day, an opportunity to re-live the glory days arises, and he cannot pass it up. But things are more than they seem . . . and he may not be incredible enough to survive.

An action-packed comedy suitable for all ages, this old (2004) film is one we've enjoyed many times (most recently, yesterday). It explores important themes of power, responsibility, and uniqueness in a light-hearted (yet poignant) way. Highly recommended.

Rating: A
