I love this review! Every time I've tried ...JD,<br />I love this review! Every time I've tried to describe how subversive this movie is to people I fail miserably because, I think, it has to be seen to be believed! My seat could barely contain me, my subverted expectations and my sheer joy.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13953652907115935895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-19946883496479782512014-02-19T17:59:17.521-05:002014-02-19T17:59:17.521-05:00I have a huge plastic bin full of LEGOS still, inc...I have a huge plastic bin full of LEGOS still, including some 1980's space men. Although for a lot of the older sets I don't have instructions, not that it matters. I'm gonna have to dig out one of those space guys at some point. <br /><br />I'm so glad I'm not alone in my love for this movie, I wish it wasn't spoilerific to talk about why it is so affecting.Samantha M.

We're pretty much "in the bag" for LEGOs in my house, as my husband adores them, and we've really enjoyed introducing our older daughter to them and building some complicated sets with her. We took her to see this movie today, and it was so much fun for all of us. From the LEGO bits and pieces, to the instructions, to the creations, to the simultaneous adherence to and subversion of tropes, to the overall direction the story took, it struck all the right chords for us. The voice talent was indeed wonderful, and I particularly enjoyed Chris Pratt, Morgan Freeman, and Liam Neeson. Batman was certainly awesome and funny (that song!), but I think I laughed harder at Badcop because of the work Liam Neeson was doing.<br /><br />Of course, my husband is now really sad that his parents long ago got rid of his 1980s spaceman set. :(Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-78469343108136596492014-02-17T08:14:43.996-05:002014-02-17T08:14:43.996-05:00I loved this movie (and Batman was definitely awes...I loved this movie (and Batman was definitely awesome - though of course, everything was). The pirate ship and the 1980s spaceman were particularly special to me :)Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-75675334121150189092014-02-17T00:53:57.125-05:002014-02-17T00:53:57.125-05:00As a child growing up in Taiwan, LEGOs were not ea...As a child growing up in Taiwan, LEGOs were not easy to find, but my mom was able to buy a set for me every year. Watching this movie brought back all those memories, of making things up then smashing them to pieces then building again. Watching the movie's trailer I thought it'd be a silly time-waster, who knew it had a lot of heart, and moments that brought tears to my eyes. Most definitely worth the money.<br /><br />(Appropos of nothing, there were lovely Girl Scout selling cookies outside the theater. The thin mints were perfect movie snack!)rebecca_s921https://www.blogger.com/profile/03815688599706633935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-15947387299127383852014-02-13T22:21:59.212-05:002014-02-13T22:21:59.212-05:00I had no desire to see this movie and it just hopp...I had no desire to see this movie and it just hopped onto my "MUST SEE" list. :)<br /><br />As a kid, all my Legos were pink and lavender and baby blue.
