UNhappily N'ever After

Saturday, January 13, 2007

Just shoot me now. Please. For the love of Mike, end my suffering. PLEASE!

It's Saturday so we decided that since we've been working like a couple of plow horses all week, it was time to go get lunch and see a movie. A nice family afternoon. Except that the movie we chose was outstandingly bereft of any artistic or enjoyment value whatsoever. And the ticket prices were outrageous!

The theater closest to us has 2 wings. The good wing with stadium seatin, comfortable roomy seats, and arm rests that move up or down. The urgh wing is the exact opposite. Narrow, uncomfortable seats, arms rests stuck down, and no stadium seating so you spend the movie looking at the hat of the guy in front of you. Thankfully, this particular movie was playing in the "good" wing.

This theater also offers discounted tickets before 4pm on weekdays and something like 2 or 3pm on weekends. Here is where we made our first mistake. We should have caught an earlier showing OR waited until another day and caught it before the discount cut-off. Because let me tell you, this movie was NOT worth $9.00 a ticket. Definitely not. In fact, after seeing it, I would even pay the $3.99 for a pay-per-view on our cable (which, with our nifty DVD burner, we can then burn to disc)... this thing isn't even worth that piddly amount.

Movie Trailer

The preview looks good enough. Has Patrick Warburton in it which normally is enough to cause us to have an enjoyable time. Not so this time - he's so droll, it's funny just to listen to him but in this particular instance, it was enough to cause one to fall asleep or wish for a power outage. He was certainly NOT funny. Nope. Not one little bit.

Sigourney Weaver is also in it. Her character was particularly annoying and grating on the nerves. Her animation was clumsy and her voice... oy. Like fingernails down a chalkboard. It wasn't pleasing at all.

The only redeeming factor were the Seven Dwarves which moved about like garden gnomes - popping here and there with incredible speed and precision. Too bad their part was like 2 seconds long.

Take my advice. Stay FAR away from this movie. Don't waste your time. I regret wasting any brain cells viewing this train wreck.

Now it's time for a nap to recover from the horror.
