As already mentioned, Elizabeth and I saw The Incredibles yesterday. I can't add much besides my voice to the hordes of reviews which pile praise on the movie.
The movie does have many superhero-movie cliches, but not too many. And it departs from the norm in many ways. It combines the superhero's life with "real" life in true-to-life ways (yes, I know I just used the word "life" three, make that four, times), such as the scene near the end when the family is racing to the scene of the rampaging robot, and the husband and wife superheroes are arguing about which exit to take from the highway.
I could ramble on about some of the other nice little bits that combine to make it such a great movie, but I won't. Just go see it! Oh, and you can thank me for refraining (unlike most reviewers) from calling the movie "incredible."
