Deb's Take: I actually went to this movie several months ago with my two oldest kids. It was a pre-editing screening. The whole experience was pretty cool for my kids. My son was super excited that he was watching a movie that hadn’t even come out yet, and taking a survey at the end with our opinions made him feel special.
As far as the movie itself, I felt like the previews really played it up and it was a little bit of a let down. I was looking for something that would really touch my heart. Don’t get me wrong, the movie is touching, just not deep in your soul touching. I felt like all the characters had good chemistry. There were some funny parts, but it was a little slow at times. My kids both rated it highly in there surveys though, and I think it was a good family movie. I think younger kids may get a little bored, but 11 and up seemed to work. I have to say from a mom’s perspective, it was a fun night with my kids, but the movie wasn’t what made it memorable.
Deb's Rate: Rent it
