Plot revealed:
Since long humans have explored the possibility of afterlife. This movie wraps that concept in a nice way for all the kids out there. The concept of Paranorman seems to be borrowed from the famous movie, 'Sixth Sense'. Norman is a kid in a normal middle class family with people who do normal jobs and live a normal life.
But Norman is no normal kid. He can see ghosts and talk to them which make everyone think that he is creepy and weird. Norman tries to find acceptance in the society with his super powers and that is what the movie is all about. Apparently, in movies the only way to do this is by being a hero and that's what our Norman does :-).
Paranorman succeeds in getting its crazy characters to fit perfectly in their shoes. This movie is a perfect example of how innovative movies should be produced. It manages to come up with hilarious sequences that will leave you in fits of laughter and like all movies for kids this one ends with a good lesson. The best thing about the movie has to be the funny scenes, but like all movies, I would think what mattered the most for me was the well thought off plot. I absolutely loved the way Norman puts his thoughts together to convey the town people to *not* do something by showing them how that was wrong.
This movie doesn't have great 3D-effects like the "Madagascar-3" so it wouldn't matter if you watch it in 2D or 3D. But what this movie provides is a great value for your time.
My suggestion: This is a perfect family movie with a lesson for everyone in a family and probably the best show to go for this weekend.
