audience reaction: The audience really liked this, even the adults.
recommendation: I liked this movie, too. It's a good family movie.
spoiler alert! Is their mom so absent-minded that she cannot recall how many "mom bucks" she handed out and how many she had to begin with? I think that I would notice sitting on something like that. The parents could have asked their neighbors to check-up on their kids while they were gone; or they could ask their neighbors if anything happened while they were away.
fyi: When I was a Grade One pupil at Notre Dame Elementary School, Boys Department, in Kidapawan, Cotabato, Mindanao, Philippines, everybody picked on me because I was the runt in the class--everyone was two years older than I was because my parents, in their "infinite wisdom", decided to put me in that class without sending me to Nursery School or Kindergarten first. Our school uniform was a white T-shirt and Khaki shorts with a green stripe on either side.
One day, I, and another pupil, asked to be excused to use the toilet. Mind you, back then we used crumpled-up newspaper as toilet paper substitute. As I squatted down in my stall, the other kid ( who ran out of paper ) reached under the partition and grabbed my shorts then proceeded to wipe his butt with it. Then, he ran back to the classroom and lied to the teacher saying that I wiped my butt using my shorts and that I licked my poop off of it! My teacher, Mrs. Togon, was so angry that when I got back into the classroom, amidst my fellow classmates' boisterous laughter, she ordered me to go home right away.
I hung my head in shame as I walked out of there. But I was very angry deep inside of me because the teacher chose to believe in a lie. No wonder I didn't do well in school.
I will never forget that day. And if I can remember who that son-of-a-bitch bastard is who pulled that prank on me, I will hunt him down and beat him so bad that he'll end-up crapping in his pants--then, I'll make him lick it!
word of advice: Don't wear Khaki pants.
The first sign of guilt is Denial.
tidbits: I was sent home early from work today--No, not for the same reason as mentioned above. In all the years that I've worked for the company, this is the first time that I've ever been sent home early. Maybe I did something bad or the economy is still bad, or both. Whatever .... So, I decided to see this movie on my way home just to unwind a bit.
