Despicable Movie

The movie is actually called Despicable Me and it is in 3D.  Today, it was rainy and we decided to go to see this movie out of deference to Heather who would not pick up on the nuances of Leonardo DiCaprio’s movie Inception.

 

Anyway, TJ, Sarah, Heather, and I went to the matinee and I expected 3 Adults and 1 Child to be between $20-$25.  The matinee tickets were $47 for the four of us.  It is a good thing that we stuffed our pants with candy and drinks from home or this adventure would have been close to a C-Note.

 

The movie was for sure entertaining to children – I think.  I cannot say for sure because I took off my glasses 30 minutes in and started reading a book on my iPhone Kindle application.  Every once in a while, Heather would reach out towards the screen to try and touch one of the 3D images protruding from the screen – but otherwise, she seemed mesmerized by the movie.

 

Near the end of the movie, one of the character’s decried, “Oh Poop!” and Heather went into a series of uncontrolled fits of laughter.  She kept saying, “He said ‘Oh Poop!’”.  Even as we walk through the parking lot back to the car she could not contain herself.  To recognize one of Heather’s most favorite scenes in the history of American cinematography, we got her a cake to celebrate.
