Had a backyard movie night with the fam. In my previous review, I gave this a sort of “qualified” 4 stars, but I actually think I may remove that qualifier. We had a great time watching this. My 10 y/o and 14 y/o were laughing hysterically throughout. I wasn’t able to bring them to the advanced screening I went to, but I had figured that the humor probably skewed a bit young for them anyways. I was totally wrong about that. Plus, their laughter can be infectious, so I found myself laughing even more at some of the jokes this time around. Only downside was the multitude of mosquito bites. But I can’t really fault the movie for that.
So great family fun for the entire family.
