I really enjoyed this movie. I went because it was a kid's film but it really was worthy of watching as an adult in a Wonder Year's kind of way.

by the way, I hauled my butt up to Dr. Kenville in Glenview. Very enjoyable movie going experience. None of the frustrations of "urban" movie going.

i brought my 2 kids to see it this weekend, and it was good harmless fun for them. they laughed throughout. my son loves those books, and i have to admit i get a laugh out of them when we read together at night. pretty clever and funny. he cant wait for the next one to come out.

Good to hear.

I'm taking my kids this weekend. They've read every book a couple times. They're pretty excited. Previews looked good but you never know with those.

I think it's alright for kids under 12.

My son has read the books, so we went to see it Saturday. Alright for a kids movie.

Maybe I'll take the older son to see Hot Tub Time Machine this Saturday.

Took my son to see it today. He's read all the books, and he liked it. Honestly, it could have really sucked and he would have probably liked it, so....

I thought it was o.k. Not a ringing endorsement, but I've sat through much, much worse when I've gone to movies with the kids.
