    Cute Mommy and Me/ Dad and Me Movie

    by Reece002

    I took my 9 year old daughter out to see this movie, she did not really laugh or comment during the movie, (shes a pretty quite kid though) but she did say after watching it that she liked the 3D. I personally liked the movie. It was age appropriate and the animation was fun to watch (ALMOST like clay-mation makes me think of Gumby when I was little, but digital enhancement helped with the overall visual affects) It was worth the 11 bucks to see in 3D only wish the previews weren't as long my daughter kept asking "when is the movie going to start?"

    A fun movie -- both times we saw it :)

    by KCBender

    Clever dialogue, but not too clever... lots of quotable moments. It kept my two sons (ages 8 and 10) giggling the whole way home. My SO and enjoyed it both times we went. A definate "Yes!"

    This movie is totally funny

    by gunnut1

    This Ardaman movie is a hoot. It is funny, action packed, and a little sad in parts. My wife and I went and laughed at most of the movie. But, what we were laughing at are the inside jokes that no young kid or any one under about 40 would catch. There are a lot of things in the background that elude to and earlier time in out lives.
    So you can take the kids but they will not understand a lot of the jokes and innuendos.
    I give this movie 10 out of 10.

    I loved it and hope to see it in 3D.

    The Pirates!

    by KBWebster

    I took my 6 and 8 year old granddaughters and they loved it. On the down side, sure, there's a few "bad" words (but nothing they haven't heard at school) and there's a bit of violence (but nothing as bloody as what they see on tv).
    On the up side, there's a story of loyalty and friendship, and they learned a few historical things, too. Plus, I enjoyed it, and that was an unexpected bonus!
    I suppose my 6-year-old granddaughter said it best: 'Pirates ROCK!!!"
    It's worth seeing if you get a chance.

    The Pirates

    by bigsid02

    Good enough but not necessarily for younger kids (took my grandson who is 4) and he didn't 'get' the jokes in the everyday conversation of the pirates. The characters in the movie are darling; so many funny stereotypes. But cute and worth the money.

    The Pirates!

    by wbeatty

    It's jam-packed full of wit and clever dialogue, delightful and endearing characters, and plot surprises. I highly recommend it for all ages, though adults will appreciate more of the humor. This one has heart and bite!

    Boring

    by

    There were moments of cuteness but half way through I was bored and considered actually leaving the show. It might be a little funnier with a glass of red wine on a Friday night at home with your kids after spending $1.29 renting it from Redbox. But it wasn't worth the $5 I paid on the discount day I saw it on. Wallace and Gromit and even Chicken Run was better. The trailer had the only funny parts, if you thought it was funny, of the movie. Don't get me wrong, I love British humor but this fails...miserably. Even the three year old in the theater, who loves these kinds of movies, was talking about the next movie they were going to go see at another theater.

    The craft of animation is alive and well

    by lola74

    This movie is visually sumptuous. It is hard to believe that it is stop-motion animation--using actual clay and puppets to achieve a richness and life just not there in now-regular digital animation.Plus, the movie is not all effects.Unlike a lot of glitzy movies with stupid plots, this one makes sense and holds the attention. The comedy is very British--wit rather than slapstick.So it works for adults. As my 11 yr-old said, "It was not *quite* as funny as I expected, but it was a much *better* movie than I expected." It wears well. I would see it again.

    the pirates! bans of misfits

    by gailcash

    cute little film, but nothing new in it. Good for young child's early movie-going, or time-filler on a rainy afternoon

    something for Everyone

    by gpohlhau

    I went to this movie in order to give my granddaughters a treat. I watched it carefully when I realized that there were puns and gags for all ages. It is a great spoof even to the closing credits.

    Pirates is a solidly British chuckle for grownups!

    by LaurenB838

    This film is not for everybody - in particular, it's not as good for children as the previews suggest. (My 9-yer-old daughter was bored to tears.) If, however, you love the work of Aardman Studios (think "Wallace & Gromit"), you'll enjoy the level of detail and sophistication in this latest effort. After a slow start, the film moves through some unexpected plot twists and astonishingly elaborate scenery to a delicious ending. It's not often laugh-out-loud funny, but the film delivers smiles, chuckles and the odd guffaw. It's well worth the time and money for Anglophiles.

    Pirates fun

    by cstatman

    Weak story, but it's a kids movie, cmon. My 5 year old laughed and giggled all the way through it.

    Sure, there was some lag. Whenever the pirates were sailing all over the map? he said "BORING" but when there was action cool

    mixed throughout the film were signs, banners, etc, that made nice jokes for the adults to read. I enjoyed it, my son enjoyed it.

    Pirates, good for younger kids

    by bcricket3

    We chose to see this movie because my family are big shawn of the sheep fans. We like that British humor and occasional laughs. This is what Pirates was. Similar in humor and the story was easy enough to follow for my young daughter. There were some funny moments, but I felt that most of them were braodcast on the commercials, so you're really not missing much as an adult. All together, I think I didnt waste my money on the tickets because the kids really enjoyed it.

    I enjoyed it...5 year old nephew fell asleep

    by ctown344

    I personally liked it because of the underlying things only adults would catch. I think my nephew may have been too young to actually enjoy it because it drags in the middle and his attention span is very minimal. But I give it so-so because it's supposed to be a kids movie and it lacked certain elements you look for in a kids movie. Would not buy the admission for the 3-D ticket either. Some movies actually use it to it's strengths. This movie...ehh not so much.
