Lord and Miller's sensibilities are continually clever, and The Lego Movie works hard to gradually deliver surprising payoffs to what seem to be throwaway bits.

The Lego Movie has enough wit and wisdom to send a recession-age message to families on the importance of thinking through problems with creativity.
