Despicable Me

M: I went to see this on a date with my 6 year old Daughter. It was good. Pretty enjoyable. Had a good message. At times it felt a bit predictable and heavy handed. But, all in all, a good show to see with the kids. 2 1/2 stars

Nanny McPhee

M: A good family movie night movie. Nanny McPhee is an ugly nanny who comes to help teach extra bad children to behave. As the children get better, she gets more beautiful. The movie had some fun spots, and good imagination. But the kids annoyed me at times, and I wasn't really feeling the love interest. Somewhere between OK and Pretty good. 2 1/2 stars

V: Our kids liked it. It had some fun moments and some great actors. Written and played by Emma Thompson, Nanny McPhie had some fun magical stuff (the messing-up-the-kitchen scene) and some silly stuff (dancing donkey) and some okay-I-get-it repetitive stuff (NM always showing up out of nowhere and startling people.) I agree with M. (I'm always agreeing with him lately.) 2 1/2 stars
