Scooby-Doo

I never was a fan of the Scooby-Doo cartoons. They came along after I was too old to watch them as a kid, and my kids never watched them much. We had a videotape of a Batman/Scooby-Doo crossover movie because one of my daughters was a Batman fan, but that was about it.

However, sometimes we watch odd things, so the first live-action (with the exception of an animated Scooby) SCOOBY-DOO movie found itself in our DVD player the other day. And even though it got terrible reviews when it came out, I actually sort of enjoyed it. A lot of the script comes across as post-modern irony, which I generally don’t like, but it’s a little funny in places. Yes, the computer-animated Scooby-Doo looks goofy. Was anybody really expecting anything else? And I have eight words for anybody who says this movie isn’t worth watching:

Sarah Michelle Gellar in mini-skirt and go-go boots.

So there.
