One more thing that I feel I have to say. I would like to draw attention to the fact that in this film, the creation of a Christian fundamentalist activist film-maker with an outspoken mission to bring Christ to Hollywood, the story of a large warm LOVING family (the Stantons (who are quite like the Weasleys in Harry Potter; loud, loving chaotic and loyal) have been replaced by the NEW archetypal family; the American WASP suburbanite family; cold, isolated, competitive, materialistic and angry. The family from Home Alone and countless other US films; neurotic, wealthy and hateful. Mall-denizens. Suburbanites. I find it very ironic that the standard bearers of 'family values' have again advertised the very worst values; greed, cruelty and loneliness, that modern society can offer. I'm sorry; white Americans have the worst family values in the industrialized world and they insist on exporting these horrible mores around the globe as if they were something to be emulated.
