Actually, all of the product placement in the picture was done *solely* to make fun of product placement. The filmmakers/studio didn't get any cash for putting it in there. The over-the-top nature of it was supposed to draw attention to how ridiculous it is. Of course, with the *actual* product placement being so ridiculously obvious in most movies, it's hard to spot the parody.

The commercialism was bothersome. If they're trying to make a movie about the sad state of our materialistic nation, I found it hard to buy when they, in turn, were just promoting company after company after company.
: Overall, it was cute. Definitely a movie for young-un's.
