I took my two elder kids to see this today. Thought it was WAY better than Chicken Little. Not a perfect movie, but I think the moral they are aiming at comes through very well - my six year old got it right on.

My kids ALWAYS fight (I have a 4 year old as well, but thought it looked a bit intense for her), so who knows? Maybe something sunk in that I'm not getting through to them?

Anyone else have thoughts on it? I thought it was kind of fun.

My daughter and her cousin saw it the other day- they picked it over 'Chicken Little', in fact. They both really liked it. They both also fight a lot.

A movie of historic proportions. I laughed I cried, it was awesome. Of course I have not actually seen the movie but for the first time ever my boy called up a friend and THEY went to see the movie. I did not need to go, I did not need to drive (they took the bus). Woo ho! I got to stay home and clean out the garage. Ohh, wait a second, perhaps it was not that good after all...

Real men love cleaning out the garage.

Of course, if it still has debris in it from when your son decided to run the car into the door, then I could see why it might not be fun.

Hey - how come you didn't let him drive to the movie?

Sorry, I left out a critical detail in my "review". I should have mentioned that my wife was "helping" me clean out the garage.

Rather takes all the fun out of it...

I want to know if it's better than Jumanji...that movie was an odd mixed bag for me.

I liked it better than Jumanji, but I'm not a Robin Williams fan.
