Q: What’s the movie about?
A: A woman, dressed as a princess, kisses a frog-prince to try to turn him back into a human-prince, but instead, she gets turned into a frog.
Q: Who’s in the movie?
A: Anika Noni Rose, Bruno Campos, Keith David, Michael-Leon Wooley, Jennifer Cody, Jim Cummings, Peter Bartlett, Jenifer Lewis, Oprah Winfrey, Terrence Howard, John Goodman, Elizabeth M. Dampier, Breanna Brooks
Q: Is this movie worth the price of admission?
A:
Go! But maybe don't bring your children, unless you're okay with exposing them to a flashing joke, a main character who's a lazy womanizer, and a thinly veiled cougar/pedophilia joke.Q: Will this movie make me laugh?
A: Yes. There's a flashing joke, a main character who's a lazy womanizer, and a thinly veiled cougar/pedophilia joke!
Q: Will this movie make me cry?
A: The Black community will cry when they realize that they finally got their Disney princess, and she spends most of the movie as a frog.
Q: Will this movie be up for any awards?
A: If MTV knows what it's doing, it will nominate these frogs for Best Kiss-- or at least Most Tongue-tied.
Q: How is the Acting?
A: The voice cast is dynamic and versatile, both in the acting and the singing. My only complaint is that I never saw the moment in the frog-prince's face when he falls for our heroine, nor did I really know what it was about her that he fell for. But since most of us know how this story goes, I still went with it.
Q: How is the Directing?
A: The musical numbers, particularly those in the Bayou are an imaginative spectacle. But personally, I was most partial to the way the princess was drawn as a young girl, because she looked just like my adorable little niece, Laila. Have I told you lately that I love her?
Q: How is the story/script?
A: The script is predictable as can be, but the songs are some of the best I've ever heard in a Disney musical. That's what they get for using jazz, blues and gospel as their base.
Q: Where can I see the trailer?
A: http://www.moviefone.com/movie/the-princess-and-the-frog/30244/trailers

Nice Review. I like the format you use. I'm starting a blog with some reviews, more stuff already on DVD than things in the theatre.
I added a link to this page on my site - I hope that's okay. Let me know. THANKS!
