Painful

Rating: 3/10 (30 November 2013)

From a Dad's perspective it was painful to endure. Usually I research movies but this was family night, and a Disney kids movie, so we took our 3 boys 10, 6, 4. Some of the movie previews I saw did not paint a clear picture of the movie at all. First thing to note, this is a Full On MUSICAL. Before the movie even starts, you are stuck watching an old style MM cartoon that reminds me of why I never watched them when I was young. Wished it was played at the end. I am no masterful movie writer like some of the reviews I saw some people write up here. So from a mid-40 Dad's lame view, I thought the beginning and middle dragged...on...forever...(shoot me now). Also I do not think many of the characters were mixed in very well at all. The snowman existence and the ice herder is tied in poorly to the movie, like some of the other characters, IMO. I will say the last 20 minutes or so of the movie were good. In hind site this is something I would have let mom take the kids to. My wife also did not enjoy the movie, not sure she suffered like I did. Summary, not worth paying to see, wait for HBO or Netflix. People did clap at the end, which still baffles me when it happens at a movie theater. While suffering and starting to look around I saw a lot of people enjoying it. My mom would have loved the movie :-)
