have to take the kid to a movie - need ideas
Since husband is working late... any suggestions? Don't think I can sit through Lemony Snicket again. Are there any good kid friendly movies still out... he is 8.

3. The Incredibles is good

7. is Fat Albert any good?
previews looked Horrifying. I already saw Neverland... although he might like that. National Treasure sounds good, if it is still around.

12. Sorry, haven't seen it yet
Reviews aren't great and you're right about the previews.

But it looks age-appropriate.

6. you know I was off work today
and I thought about seeing that while he was at school. It sounds really interesting. But I think he can wait to learn until he is older. Wise guy. :spank:

16. Snicket was okay - I'd give it a C
the baby's comments were probably the funniest part. I think Carrey was miscast. Much prefer Harry Potter movies or Jimmy Neutron if I have to see them more than once.

14. National Treasure is Very Entertaining
in an Indiana Jones kind of way. Eight might be a little young to appricate all of it, but I bet he'd still be fascinated if he like adventure movies.

Even though the movie is absolutely preposterous, it's still fun.
