Movie Review: the Cine-Sib Reviews "Toy Story 3."

Here is the preliminary review.  He was apparently trying to cram as many big words into a tiny space as possible, while also trying to sneak in a Shakespeare reference to tease me.  He said his usual haiku review is forthcoming. (I haven't seen the flick yet; I'm saving it so I can see it with some friends who are coming to visit next week.  Yes, the arrival of college buddies Alessandra and Ladybird and Foxtrot!  We're like the "Sex and the City" quartet --only awesome, smart, and sensible in addition to being fabulous with good shoes.)

So, the Cinema-Mad Sibling gives you this:

Toy Story 3 is a metaphysical musing on the nature of self-identity/self worth, evanescence of all things which hinder/foster personal change/growth, trust/loyalty/family, letting go/moving on, fear/anxiety of future unknown: the undiscovered country of a path that ultimately defines us; the gamut of emotions deftly realized in mere CGI toys bolstered by consistently sharp writing of Pixar, despite a weak denouement.
What I said to him afterward: "So basically it's about growing up."
