Will adults enjoy this?

Rating: 7/10 (22 July 2014)

Let's face it... that's an important question every parent asks, because, at the end of the day, we know it'll be us who have to sit through this film as well as our kids. Children tend to be able to sit through most films/TV as long as it has cute characters and lots of primary colours. But us adults' eyes tend to start to glaze over as we pray for the end credits to roll.
That was why films like 'Toy Story' and 'Shrek' were so popular - because they were just as enjoyable for adults as kids. Luckily, 'Monsters University' tends to lean towards those. It's probably not technically as good and/or funny as either, but it will definitely entertain the kids while not annoying the adults who have to watch it with them.
Obviously, if you liked the humour/characters in the first film (Monsters Inc) then you'll probably love this, too. However, even if you haven't seen it, you and your kids will easily pick up the plot. Of course there are the usual moral messages which go over the youngsters' heads and us oldies roll our eyes at.
But, at the end of the day, it's a fun film which the kids will probably want to watch again and again. And, even better still, we won't be that bothered to sit through it with them.
