Wreck it Ralph movie review from Eli

We got to see a pre screening of Wreck it Ralph in 3D last night and Eli loved it… well actually he says not to go see it in the video. But he doesn’t mean that. (video spoiler alert: Ralph saves the day and the game gets fixed… whodathunkit?)

Overall, we loved the movie! Wreck it Ralph is great for boys and girls. The main characters voices, Vanellope and Ralph (by Sarah Silverman and John C Reilly) were perfection! The animation was great, and the 3D wasn’t obnoxious. The storyline – what goes on with video game characters after the arcade closes – was clever. I loved the common theme of accepting outcasts and just being nice to people. (BE NICE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD.) A deeper theme was, people can make decisions to better/change their own life even if circumstances, past situations and people make it difficult… and that giant killer robot bugs can be defeated with diet coke and mentos. Life changing knowledge, yo!

My most favorite part of everything was one on one time with my eldest. He is rad. I told him, and he asked if that’s what I tell all the “other kids” when I go out with them. I said yes, but he was my favorite. (I also tell that to all the “other kids” when I go out with them.) Tell your kiddo they are rad. Right now. Then take them out. Anywhere.
