The hubs and I decided to go on a date night on Friday, which usually consists of either dinner or a movie, or dinner and a movie. Adventurous I know.
We decided Super 8 was the movie we wanted to see.
The previews we’d see for this movie didn’t give us any idea of the plot, or any indication of what to expect.
The first thing that tweaked my interest ? Kyle Chandler. Being the FNL fans we are, I knew I could expect a solid performance from him, and as expected, he delivered.
The main little boy reminded me of Bastian from A Never Ending Story. He had the awkwardness of Elliot from ET, this movie really took me back to my childhood.
I liked this movie, the kids were relateable, I wanted to pull out my purple bike with the crooked handle bars and ride around the streets with them.
Why you should see it ? It took me back to watching Goonies, Stand By Me (there is spewing) and those coming of age movies of yesteryear (yes, I wrote yesteryear). I laughed, got a couple of frights (I'm jumpy) and enjoyed myself.
RATING: One piece of cake for the actual movie, one piece of cake for the movie during the credits.
