Well, you would think that by now we would have learned our lesson about letting Viliamu choose the movie...apparently we had to have one more bad experience with this before getting it. Do not let an almost 5 year old choose a movie just because he's seen the previews or because it has "kids" in the title. It was ridiculous in so many ways. Juvenile humor, terrible acting, and sub par special effects. The story was just stooooooopid. Ron fell asleep 20 minutes into the movie but at least he didn't snore as loud as the man 5 seats down the row from us. On the bright side, there were enough fart jokes to keep Viliamu interested, laughing and happy. Thankfully, the movie was only 1 hour and 29 minutes long and the pain was fleeting. Don't waste any time or money on this movie.
We also saw
One Day over the weekend. It's been 2 days since we saw it and I'm still not sure what I think about it. It was not a typical romantic comedy or even "chick flick." It is the story of how 2 people stay in each other’s lives over the years from 1988 until 2011. Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess are the two lead actors who show the changes in these lives on July 15
th every year. It was well acted. The male character is a pig with no discernible redeeming qualities.
The female character doesn’t show any self respect for years – she stays friends with him and puts up with his antics and self destructive behavior for years. I still haven't figured out why they ended up together. Sounds like I didn't enjoy it, doesn't it? Like I said, I still don't know. It wasn't what I was expecting and I was disappointed.

I'm glad to see Ron has a little bit of Baron von Narcolepsy in him too!
Thank you, Ms Critic. There are two movies I will ignore.
