When we went to go see Mr. Magorium a month or so ago there was a preview for the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. Liam and Colm new instantly that they wanted to see it. Sean and I new instantly that there was no way on God’s green earth that we would let them see it. Uh, it’s awful in every way I can think of and that is just based on what I saw of the previews. What makes me even sadder is that for the past two weeks it has been in the second and third spot at the box office. What does that say? Either there is absolutely nothing else to see at the movies and people are desperate to waste their money. I think it might also say something sad about what we, as Americans, find funny and entertaining. Even sadder, I think people really want to take their kids to the movies (especially since their not in school) and that is the closest thing out there to a kids movie right now. Why can’t there be more good kid movies? We get about one good one a year, that’s not enough.
