Title: Quirky, workable, worthwhile rental
Review: Frog and Wombat is a movie aimed at kids who are just pre-adolescent or young adolescents. It has a good bit worthwhile about it--a girls-bonding theme presented in the context of solving a mystery. The movie has some comic moments, generally fine acting, and, if rated, would fall somewhere between a "hard" G rating and a "very soft" PG rating.If you feel that your kids missed out on the "small theme" films which seemed to be present for kids in abundance in the 1960s, and seem to have wholly given way to big-budget, big special effects films in the 00s, then you might check out Frog and Wombat, a quirky little modern indy film that reminds me of those low-budget 60s family comedies. It's not "laugh out loud" funny, but it's a perfectly enjoyable afternoon with the VCR.
