We took the kids to go see this movie for Valentine's Day today......and we loved it! (Well, Doug didn't, but we will talk about that in a sec.) Dallin and I thought it was great! Keep in mind, we love dark and wierd things. It was almost magical in a freaky and scary way. Anything that is dark or out there is usually something I will like. It was real cool that it was in 3D too. That made it much more fun and exciting in a dark show. There were a few things that I didn't like that I thought were somewhat inappropriate for a children's movie. #1- Coraline said "Oh my God", which I did not appreciate at all. #2- There was a part in which an old lady was dressed in something you might see a woman in an ADULT FILM wearing-which makes it inappropriate for kids and also quite disturbing.
All in all, I thought it was great and I liked the spooky story line.
Doug on the other hand didn't like it, but he isn't amused by a whole lot anyway. He does not appreciate the dark stuff, and the story line was just too creepy for a kid's show in his opinion. He said the words "creepy" and "eerie". But, he said the 3D effects were awesome and he really liked that part.
So, see it if you like, I think it is just different and interesting enough that it is worth checking out!

A friend of mine saw it and loved it but said it was way too scary for her kids and recommended it for kids 8 and older. She said her 6 year old had to leave early because she was in tears she was so scared. My kids really want to see it though and tell me they won't be scared. You boys weren't too scared by it?
You probably already could guess, but I really want to see this movie! It looks a little "creepy" and "eerie" for Gabe, so I'll probably end up buying/renting it when it comes out.
Do you think we could pay to have that "OMG" and sexy granny edited out?? ☺
No, my boys weren't scared, and to be honest, I don't think it was THAT scary.
I have to say I agree with Doug. I haven't seen Coraline, but it looks too much like "The Nightmare Before Christmas" b/c its directed by the same guy and I hated that movie I thought it was lame.
Thanks for the review.
The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my favorite movies. I love it! So, I think I would really love this one too. Did you see the Corpse Bride or The Series of Unfortunate Events? The books were really good. I just love all of the creativity of the characters and the sarcasm. I'll have to be a loner on this one, I highly doubt Tyler would see it :)
