I took the kids to see this movie when it initially came out. First though they had to do chores, as did I, to earn a trip to the theater. Some people thought I was being mean. They thought washing the walls was cruel and unusual punishment. As if dropping $30 for an hour long movie is a natural given right of all children everywhere. I don't mind taking them to the drive inn where $10 gets a momvan load of kidlets in to see not one, but TWO movies, and there is a free ginormous bag of popcorn. But apparently a 3D movie is ten bucks a pop at the theater and I took two kids and myself. Got a babysitter for BabyBoy.
The Daughter ended up not wearing her 3D glasses because doing so scared her. Things in movies should not jump out at 6 year olds. Especially giant lifesize meatballs. And most especially not Mr T's buttcheeks. Not that the movie really stayed true to the book, because it didn't. That beautiful mound of snow white mashed potatoes with the sunset yellow pat of butter at the end? Not even in the movie. What a travesty.

Aawww dang, why do they have to do that? Stupid writers..the original author had it so right! Well, that tears it....waiting for the dvd.
Oh the movie is cute too, just not the same as the book.
