ok, the folks in the chat room are busy

j/k

but, heres the thing....


i need to find a movie that will work for my kids (8 and 11), me and my mom to watch this afternoon...

they wanted to go see king kong.. but, i tried to tell my son that wasnt smart, he doesnt handle sad movies at all, hes a huge cryer (?)


so, then we were gonna go see rumor has it.... but, the reviews arent so good for that one


so, i suggested getting a few new movies and having a movie day here at home fire in the fireplace, pop some corn, you know, blankets, the whole thing


so, what about mr and mrs smith ? i did hear it was violent, and sexual... whats your take ?

i really wanna see the 40 year old virgin... but, not if its just so raw theres no way to get through it, if the jokes are over the lil ones heads, then thats ok... but nothing that would scar them for life


i need like 2 good movies.... help me out....


and as far as the kids go, i think im more than open about what they see.. i dont shelter them, even though perhaps i should... im just saying unless its full of drugs or naked sex, im good with whatever.. well, not EXTREME violence.. that wont work either...


help

For an 8 and 11-year-old? Forget it.

im runnin out of options here.....

Go see the Producers. It's funny, it's a musical. There is nothing in it that is wrong for a kid to see.

Cannibal Holocaust seems to go down well with the kids, if you can't find that then try these:

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer

The Hitcher

Pink Flamingos

Salo - Criterion Collection

Caligula

Good wholesome family entertainment

sounds like a plan to me

Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy maybe?

I haven't seen it but I heard it was good family entertainment.

retina said:

actually, that is a good one.

very funny, fairly family friendly

I haven't seen the movie but I love the books by Douglas Adams.

http://www.imdb.com/ has reviews and a section for what's on at the box office.

What about Narnia?

wedding crashers ?

rebound ?

you know...I can never get that quoting biz down either

I liked robots...
but I haven't even seen madagascar or polar express.
hoosiers I saw in highschool but...it's a good one ..I'll never forget it.
the outsiders is AWESOME!!! course...I had a crush on most of the guys in it when I saw it but...it's good! you should watch it.

it's on my list. polar express i saw in 3-d imax, and would give it an 8, but without the 3-d imax, probably a 6

madagascar is really funny, but not quite shrek good. it's like an 8 or 7.5

Rent SKY HIGH. I really liked it. It's about teenage superheros.



M

Monty Pyhton and the Holy Grail.

It's silly enough for kids and smart enough for adults. And I don't think there's much cursing or any nudity.

Cant go wromg with monty python.
Hubby really liked Shy High~ today i saw King kong & bawled like a baby~~ DONT take the kiddies,,,lol It did tend to drag on,,at least the non-action bits..

Corrina,Corrina.

Matilda.

NEVER 40 Year OLD VIRGIN.... Nor MR AND MRS SMITH. I would go for CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY or FINDING NEVERLAND or Even LIMONY SNICKETS. I also like GREMLINS and DISNEY FILMS like CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG and MARY POPPINS...
