Curious George
My wife and I took our almost 2 year old to see this. All he wanted to do was run around until the previews started. Considering we were in the theatre 30 minutes early because it was opening weekend, him enjoying his first movie seemed like a long shot. However, once the moving pictures hit the screen, he calmed down. He sat on my lap the whole movie and I whispered in his ear and he whispered back. He laughed at all the funny moments, even a couple of the moments meant for parents. 15 minutes of previews and an 80+ minute movie is a long time for a little fellow to sit still. Curious George was a fun movie, the adults laughed, no doubt helped by Will Ferrell as the man in the yellow hat, and the kids enjoyed seeing that trouble maker brought to life. And that monkey sure is cute.
