The Lorax

After an incredibly busy day, we went to see the movie the Lorax. Before I give my review, I have to tell you what happened. I got these tickets for free through a credit card pre-screening give away. I was so excited to see this movie because a) I love animated movies and b) there was so much hype surrounding this movie. I got the tickets and they clearly said 7 pm.

At 5:30 pm we got ready and left to get there early. Free tickets mean lots of people and a long line. I drop off Brenda to get in line while I park the car. I parked the car at two minutes before six. I walk two blocks to the theatre where Brenda has the tickets. We go up the escalators to the theater and I get on line to get popcorn. Brenda goes to get seats. A few minutes later I go into the theatre and Brenda is standing along the wall. The movie has started and the only seats are in the front row. Now, it is a 3D movie. Not that great in the front row. Brenda asks me why I didn't know the movie was at 6 pm. I said the receipt said 7 pm.

So we watched the movie in the inclined position. At the end of the movie we check the receipt and sure enough it clearly says 7 pm!

The movie was cute. Very colorful. Not sure there was very much 3D to make it worthwhile or maybe we were too close to the screen to see it. It has a great message about the environment very reminiscent of Wall-E or this animated rainforest movie from years ago. It is a good message for kids to hear. Although I liked it, I was not blown away by it. I would recommend it for kids. The whole audience of kids seemed to like the movie.
