Saw 17 Again (not sure why there are two movies with the same title but different story). It was a pretty decent movie. The story’s a bit similar to The Shaggy Dog (yet another film that shares the same title but different story as another film) if you think about it (man transforms into another form, unknown to his family, and sees more clearly from their point of view this way, such as the problems his kids have and the feelings his wife has).
The sexual references were there to support a meaning for the story, such as when [spoil]“Mark” (young Mike) boldly told the teacher and the class that it was called “making love” for a reason and that high-schoolers shouldn’t be sexually active for the wrong reasons. [/spoil] I really enjoyed the plot, and especially the hilarious sideplot with Ned. What disturbed me was how [spoil]Mike’s daughter seemed to be making out for most of the movie. What did she see in that guy, anyway?[/spoil] It is a very interesting film and I laughed out loud during [spoil]Ned’s battle with the knight’s helmet and light-up sword thinking young Mike is a theif.[/spoil] It hits a lot of humor but also gets into a lot of meaning. [spoil]The part where Mike as “Mark” “reads the letter” when it turns out he said it from his heart? Touching.[/spoil] That’s what I like about it.
I also saw Bambi II. Beautiful animation that you can tell they took their time with. It also has depth and emotions such as grief, loneliness, not understanding others, yearning, anger, sadness, and also relief and joy. It really completes the first one, too.
The part where the Great Prince is lightening up and playing with Bambi is adorable. Thumper is so cute! [spoil]But did some of the sisters die or something? There’s only four - there used to be more in the first[/spoil]. Young Ronno is this character I hate because of the way he acts, but I just love him for some reason. Maybe it’s because I love how he affects Bambi [spoil]to toughen up[/spoil]. This movie also has references to the first film (such as Ronno [spoil]forcing Faline to step back, as he does as a grown up [/spoil] in the first movie), and also some similarities with The Lion King [spoil](Bambi being forced to leave the past with his mother behind, the Great Prince fighting off the wild dogs since Bambi cannot fight for himself, etc.) [/spoil]. Then again, The Lion King was inspired by the original Bambi film, so I guess they’re all connected.
Though I am thankful for Bambi II, it does lack a few things. The one I cannot ignore is that the original Bambi had more hard work in music. The orchestra’s lively different themes for the Great Prince, for the grown deer, for Man in the forest, for the rain (I loved the “Little April Shower sequence”! Go listen to it again! Yes, you! XD), etc. But what did Bambi II have? Mostly the music sounds like someone plugged in the soft pop music station. I mean, yeah, the music is pretty good and has the right lyrics and such, but couldn’t they save the singing for the end credits? It just doesn’t go right with the woodland world. I mean, this movie takes place in the middle of the first, so it seems kinda awkward to have this pattern: Brilliant flowing orchestra themes - sung pop songs - intense, brilliant flowing orchestra themes again!
Also, the beginning seemed rushed. The same scene in the first movie had so much emotion and is known to be tearjerking. But in the sequel, it kinda went too quick [spoil](they didn’t give Bambi enough time to cry!)[/spoil]. So, you can’t really feel the same deep sadness.
Other than that, it is very enjoyable and definitely one of the better Disney sequels out there. 
The use of contemporary pop songs instead of orchestral pieces in animated films nowadays is also another main of gripe of mine (thanks, DreamWorks!).
It’s unbearable, I broke down and was all misty-eyed at the end. Oh, man… just thinking of it gives me a lump in my throat.
