Family Films

Another wonderful thing about this time of year is the family movies that are released. Wild Thing wanted to see The Muppets last weekend so we took him. He chose wisely!

There were lots of old Muppet gags and multiple surprise cameos. The story line was sweet and the movie ended with a famous Sesame Street song. The only thing that is hard for me is that they have never found a good enough replacement voice for Kermit. I still get very sad about the loss of Jim Henson (Kermit's real daddy and voice).

Otherwise, it's worth going to see this movie - especially if you have a 5 year old to entertain - Wild Thing actually sat still for this movie.

We took Beckie to see this movie a couple of weeks ago. I am not sure exactly how to describe it. It was beautifully filmed and the young actor who played Hugo was brilliant - his acting was amazing and his big blue eyes reeled me in completely.

The story was not at all what I expected, but I didn't know what to expect. It was a little bit slow for me. We opted to see it in 2D instead of 3D. The characters were colorful and interesting. I think I need to see the movie again but in 3D this time.

My bottom line - the movie was good, but not as good as some of the critics are claiming. But I guess that's a matter of opinion, huh?
