Hi ya Gorgeous!
Today, marks the day after everything stopped. Changed. Became covid. Pandemic. Fourteen days to flatten the curve. New normal that is definitely not normal. Friday, March 13th, was the last regular day that my family experienced. It was the last day on the school campus. Last day at work in the office. The 13th was the last of many things, including, freedom to go to the movie theater! Personally, I love to experience a film, in the theater with other people, popcorn, and a very large screen!
This film, LOVE AND MONSTERS is a fun, family film. The very first few minutes has a moany groany sex silhouette scene - so if you would like to fast forward past that point it's good from then on and safe for your young ones to watch.
I remember seeing an ad and trailer for this film well over a year ago and was considering seeing it in the theater. The Burbank place is just a quick trip over the hill to Universal to watch at the AMC Theater at City Walk. It's such a fun place to go for a film and then walk the shops and eateries on City Walk.
Yes. That was pre-covid and pre-pandemic. It took a while for me to finally queue this up and watch and I'm so glad that I did!
I really enjoyed the adventure, the monsters which are well done CGI animations. I liked the characters and sound track and the sense of a quest for the main character Joel.
So why do I write my review now? Because Spring Break is upon us. Yes, even in distance learning (California high schools are still not back to campus. They "may" open back up to partial campus learning in April?)
My point is - with Spring Break travel options being minimal, you may need some options for entertainment. If you need a fun genre mash up film that works well and can be enjoyed by all ages of your family, consider LOVE AND MONSTERS! It's available on Amazon to buy a DVD or stream.
