Admittedly I'm a long time fan of Disney animation and live action films. If I want intense dialog and dark comedy I go to the Coen Brothers. When I'm looking for something sentimental and off the wall I go to Wes Anderson. And if I'm looking for a wild ride and some cringeworthy violence there's nothing better than a Tarantino film.
But Disney is my personal hideaway - a place I can count on to be entertained without having to think too hard about what I'm watching. I was hooked on Disney animation as a kid, and equally enamored with their live action films such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea or The Absent Minded Professor.
Tall Tale, while not a stellar addition to the Disney canon of live action films, still complies with the most important and meaningful recipe which all worthy films require - "It should be entertaining!" And Tall Tale, like all Disney productions from 1937's Snow White, the first full length animated film in history, to future Disney backed productions that are still brewing in someone's imagination.
It's a Tall Tale to be sure. It's entertainment, nothing more, and nothing less. Kick back and enjoy this fun film.
