Quick Movie review

#1 Post by Rexer25 » Wed Jan 02, 2008 7:49 am

If you have to see Alvin and The Chipmunks, take a 6-year-old with an infectious laugh and constant giggle. About half of the laughs I got were listening to Molly laugh at the movie.
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

That'll be $10, please.

my teenage son sat through it at the request of his new girlfriend. Ah, what we do for young love, eh?

We will never see that movie. I feel very lucky my kids don't want to see it.

I almost saw the Chipmunk movie.

I took my nieces and nephews (aged 12 to 16) out to a movie last Saturday afternoon. I told them they could pick the movie. Chipmunks were leading 3 to 2 for a while but in the end I did some politicking and National Treasure carried the day.

A good time was had by all.

In my own defense, Annie's birthday was on New Year's Eve. Her party consisted of a movie, and then dinner at CiCi's Pizza buffet, so the movie was her choice. She invited 3 friends, so there were 5 girls, ages 6-8. They enjoyed the movie thoroughly. Annie is working on her chipmunk voice, and getting pretty good at it, even though I am her father, and have no prejudices in my child's talent.

If I ever do a stand-up act, I will have Molly in the audience. Her laugh is truly infectious.

Sounds like a preview of the Iowa caucus. 8)

It works for 8-year-olds as well. I don't think I've ever heard The Little Guy laugh so hard. --Bob

We did go see Alvin and the Chipmunks, and it was OK. My two boys laughed, but not nearly as much as they have done in the past.

I think the best time we had at the movies was in Ratatouille, when my four-year-old nearly fell out of his chair laughing at the animated short and at certain parts of Ratatouille. That was worth the price of admission.
