Movie Review: HUGO

PLOT:

Hugo is a boy whose father dies, then his uncle goes missing. He starts to take care of his uncle's clock. He steals from a man who sells tinker toys to fix a robot his dad was working on. Along the way, he makes a friend who has the key to help him get the robot working.

THOUGHTS:

I think was a good movie, it was a little slow in parts. With better editing it would have been great.
This movie is about a young boy who is left alone when his father dies, the boy is then given to an Uncle to raise. The uncle puts the boy to work tuning the clocks while he drinks himself into a stupor, to get by the child steals from the merchants around the train station where he works/lives. All the while this is going on the boy must avoid being picked up the authorities and thrown into an orphanage.  This is a wonderful movie fun for kids to see it is a learning experience. When the odds are stacked against you don't give up just push on, because big things are out there for you.


Go see it in the theater, but please leave the baby at home (side note to the people at the AMC in Rosedale)
