Movie Review – Peter Rabbit
—
This was a sweet little movie. We took our five year old granddaughter and she loved it. The theater was full and it seemed that all the kids were having a great time. I even saw lots of parents laughing too. This movie even looked pretty; I absolutely loved how they made the rabbits look.…

Movie Review – The LEGO Ninjago Movie (the least exciting Lego film for adults)
Here it is in a nutshell, parents; if your kiddies love watching Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu, then they’ll have a laugh out loud good time watching this movie. There’s no need for me to go into the technical aspect of the movies — kids don’t care about that stuff. They just like to see things…

Movie Review – The Boss Baby – Adults Love This More Than Infants
Boss Baby is hilarious. It is packed with adult humor that will keep the parents laughing, and the children will enjoy the younger humor used too. I do feel that it’s more geared towards adults than children. They’ll still enjoy it, though. I took my four year-old granddaughter to see it. She has more energy…

Movie Review – The LEGO Batman Movie – One of the BEST Batman films, ever
I liked this better than the original Lego Movie – this one is skewed a little more sophisticated for the grownups – but still has lots of color and spectacle for the kiddos. It’s a very charming film, with a surprisingly good storyline. Things move quickly, and there is a lot to see, making you…

Movie Review – Moana
—
This is a beautifully crafted animated work from Disney – the care and attention really shows. Everything in the scenery is stunning, and will make you long to live in the sun on these beautiful tropical islands. The story itself is a bit simplistic and drags in parts. It does take about an hour before…

Movie Review – Sausage Party – An R Rated Animated Film with Surprising Heart and A Real Message
—
This may look like a simple movie full of crass humor, but it’s more than that. There is actually a story in there about religion, and prejudices, that gives the story a solid framework on which to hang an abundance of crassness. There is a never ending supply of sexual innuendo throughout the movie…

Movie Review – Minions
Another outstanding movie in the Despicable franchise. Heads up parents: you’re going to laugh right along with the kiddies, and even when the kiddies aren’t laughing. The sound track for Minions is right out of the 60’s and heavy on The Beatles, so even grandparents will be entertained. I liked the story, which is actually…

Movie Review – Inside Out
—
When Disney/Pixar releases a new animated film, people notice. Especially if their name is mom or dad. So, when trailers for Inside Out started floating around the inter webs, there was a collective “yippee” in the minds of thousands of parents everywhere. Chance are, that “yippee” came from the mouth of one inner voice –…

Movie Review – The LEGO Movie
—
Do you like Legos? Did you have any idea a movie about LEGOS would be so much fun? The Lego Movie was cute, charming and funny. There’s a great cast of voices, and lots of action. Kids will enjoy this movie, and the parents, especially dads, will be eager to get home and head for…

Movie Review – Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2
—
Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2 picks up where the 2009 movie left off — but even if you didn’t see the first movie you’re not going to be lost. It’s still a movie all about big food and little food roaming the countryside, being either very bad or very good. The animation was…
