We FINALLY got to see the movie last night. FINALLY! After hearing and reading rave reviews of the movie, we FINALLY got to see it. Did I just use the word finally three times? Ok, let's backtrack a bit. The most recent movie we watched prior to this, was Inception and it was last month, I think. So that makes brings our movie average to once a month! Haha a big increase from the previous, every other month frequency.
The movie is already on its third week and yet the movie house was almost full with moviegoers. We weren't expecting a crowd and there was actually a queue to the entrance of the movie house by the time we got there.
It IS a kiddie movie with lots of cutie stuff and lines. I think it is a bit for girls since the protagonists were girls. Plus the fact that it had lots of Awww moments that will make you feel all squishy inside. It also had geeky lines like "vector because it has both direction and magnitude" courtesy of Vector. Of course, the movie wouldn't be complete if it has no funny moments. One particular scene that BF kept on laughing was when the shark kept bumping the floor upon seeing Gru and his minions dangling from the ceiling and when the minion was photocopying his butt.
All in all, I think, the movie was OK. I don't think that there will be a sequel of it. It is definitely not of Toy Story caliber, just a typical feel-good movie. Not really stand out, I think. You know those movies you will go and see and forget about later. Save for a couple or so tag lines and funny scenes. BF also thought that the movie was just OK, nothing spectacular.
BF was actually a bit worried that he'd fall asleep during the screening since he was tired from his classes, especially that he still has gargantuan cases to read and analyze and his finals weeks are fast approaching.
Oh and BF treated me to a Starbucks tea :D Bliss.
