Despicable Me Review

This movie rated PG and it's from Universal Studios.

We rented it tonight.

I didn't want to see it, when it came out in the theaters, because I didn't know what it was about. All these little yellow guys being silly and some big monster who had three kids. Very strange.

I did read a review that said it wasn't that bad of a movie. Since my local workout gym had already showed my kids part of it, I figured we would give it a try.

The movie had a surprisingly decent plot. . . in sort of a crazy, mixed up way. It kept us interested enough in the movie to be glued to the screen the entire time. An evil villain, who's not sinister as you would expect most villains to be, decides he wants to steal the moon so he can be the best-est villain.
Someone gets in the way of him getting a shrink gun to shrink the moon, and so he figures three innocent looking girls from the Girl's Home can help him steal it back. The girls don't do any of the stealing, in fact they don't know exactly what's going on. In the end, the villain decides being their Dad is the best-est thing he could possibly do, and gives up being evil to love them.

If you look past all of the toilet humor, including when several of the minions say poop when something goes wrong, and the children begging to get what they want (and it works); it's a GREAT movie.

BUT.. I can't look past those things, so we will not be buying this one. Sadly, I'm going to have to give this one a three out of five stars because of the humor and "language" (which they don't use the "real" word, but they might as well have in my opinion because I don't want my kiddos using it in that context either).

If you don't care about how much your kiddos say fart, poop, and whatever else they said that I didn't have time to catch-then this movie is for you.

Welcome

I tried searching for a site that would give me an honest review of books that I could enjoy with my two children (whom I refer to as my kiddos). I have a son and daughter and I want to find books that we can enjoy as a family without sacrificing what we believe in the process. I didn't find one... so I created one.

First things first. . .

What we believe: 1. God is the one true God and creator of everything.
2. God sent His son, Jesus Christ, to Earth in human form. He was fully God and fully man.
3. Christ was crucified on a cross, to fulfill scripture and to pay for everyone's sins. After He was buried, He rose again on the third day.
4. All of us are sinners and have fallen short of the glory of God. We are separated from a relationship with God because of our sin and will face a second death in the lake of fire at the final judgment that God will give; UNLESS we turn from our sin and believe that Christ died for our sins, according to scripture, and that He was buried and rose again on the third day, according to scripture.
5. The Bible is God's Holy Word and left for us so we may learn about God and learn how God wants us to live.

That is the core or heart of what we believe. I don't claim any religious sect, but I do believe that the King James Version of the Bible is the most accurate. I do believe that belonging to a church is an important part of walking in the Spirit and helps strengthen me as a Believer.

Okay, now that all the fine print is out of the way.. let's READ!

I love to read. My kids love to read. I love movies. (My kids probably watch three times as many as I do, so it's safe to say they love movies as well.)
