Our family very rarely goes to the movie theater. This is due to several reasons. 1.) It is expensive to take a crew of 6 to a movie. And 2.) our movie theater is pretty measly, and I hate to pay the admission for a mediocre movie experience.
But during our fun-filled two weeks of vacation, we went to see not one, but two movies! We used some family Christmas money from my Granny to see one we've all been wanting to see. And I found $15 in my purse left over from our Christmas money that somehow I didn't spend. Surprising.
The movie we had all been waiting to see was Bedtime Stories. LOVED IT! An award winning movie it is not, but it was so fun! Great story line, funny (I do love Adam Sandler), clean, it appealed to us all. We were not disappointed, and I was glad we spent the money to go see it. I recommend it.
Now, two thumbs WAY DOWN for The Tale of Despereaux. I was SO disappointed! Edward stayed back with Mallory (lucky him), so it was just me and the big three. Ross and Elizabeth have been reading the book (with the hope of finishing it over Christmas, but that didn't happen!) so they really wanted to see it. It certainly did not live up to the hype! The kids liked it alright, but I thought it was a real snoozer. Have you ever started a book that you just couldn't get into? That's how I felt with this movie. I kept waiting for the exciting part, but it never came in my opinion. I was bummed that I wasted the money.
And there you have it.
