That's Just...Despicable

In honor of the tail end of August, we went to see a movie at the Sumner Theater. We like it because it is local and community supported. And to top it off, the movies show at 99 cents - which means we can take a chance on a movie when we are tired and want to get our minds and bodies off the farm for a bit.

So, the baseball season is over. We went to take in a movie. No expectations - other than the fact that we knew it was animated (something we enjoy).

The result - a recommendation to go see Despicable Me. This one would have been worth full price to us. Funny on several levels. Pulled the expected plot twists, but that didn't really bother us. Animation was good enough. The pacing was excellent. It didn't give us the feel that some movies of this genre do when they run out of money or get tired of their own premise. A wonderful escape from the farm. It played well to the kids in the audience. Nothing horribly scary. And plenty for the adults to enjoy as well. Plenty of digs into various movie genres, doesn't take itself too seriously. etc etc.

Just plain fun for an hour and a half. It should keep me amused through tomorrow AMs work.

Lightbulb. (see the movie, you'll understand)
