Judy Moody and the Not So Bummer Summer - June 10, 2011

This summer, third grader Judy Moody is planning the most super-duper, double-rare summer vacation ever with best friends Rocky and Amy but,
things change.



I SAID: This was totally awesome, but I didn't like the throw up (not a spoiler since it's in the trailer).

SHE SAID: This was an unplanned last minute trip to the movies.  It was a girls night out for 3 good friends.  They were silent and glued to the screen during the whole show, which generally they would be doing silly things and playing.  They were very impressed with the movie.  It is totally a kids movie, no adult content here, so don't look for any underlying adult jokes.  It won't happen.  Good, clean fun for young kids and they will stay quiet and still for the entire movie!

Kung Fu Panda 2

Po joins forces with a group of new kung-fu masters to take on an old enemy with a deadly new weapon.

I SAID: Very funny, I liked all parts of it.

SHE SAID: Having not seen the original from start to finish and having a slight cat-nap during one of the Kung Fu fights, it was a good movie. In this sequel, Po learns more about who he really is and where he came from, all while trying to defeat the enemy that he is more connected to than he realizes. My husband also came to the theatre as he loved the original. You could definitely hear his laugh out loud moments. While he really enjoyed it, he doesn't think it was better than the original. Yes, it is a very good movie, but are there any sequels that surpass their originals? A few, not a lot, not this one, but stay tuned for a 3rd!

Hoodwinked Too! Hood VS Evil

Red Riding Hood is training in the group of Sister Hoods, when she and the Wolf are called to examine the sudden mysterious disappearance of Hansel and Gretel.

I SAID: I liked when Hansel and Gretel got really big.

SHE SAID: We had to rent the first one last week since we hadn't seen it before. The original was out in 2006 so my daughter was not ready for movies yet as she wasn't even 2 yrs old. I don't know if it was the timing of both, but I fell asleep during the first one and I had an ity-bity cat nap during this one. It was a good undercover, rescue kind of movie. You had a lot of the originals returning to battle evil. Good action, good comedy, cute story. Probably would have enjoyed it more if I didn't have that nap. All in all, cute movie for kids, not much in the way of underlying adult jokes.
