I took Carrie to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs today. It was surprisingly good – not at all true to the book (if it had been, it would have been all of fifteen minutes long!) but enjoyable nonetheless. There was plenty of material aimed over the kids’ heads at the parents, and it was really quite funny. Carrie leaned over at one point and said “Mommy, this is the *best* movie I’ve ever seen!” And although the last bit was tense and scary in parts, she really did like it and wants to see it again.
As per my usual, I’m still in sticker shock over the cost of two tickets and a small popcorn, so we’ll wait until it comes out on DVD to see it again.
