Not "laugh out loud" funny and really slow.

Rating: 6/10 (2 July 2013)

I was really hoping this one would be good. Not necessarily as good as the first, but still good. But we were a little disappointed. We went the day it opened and the theater was packed with lots of kids (and some teens and adults). My kids (and many of the other kids in the theater) were getting quite bored by halfway through and asking when it was going to be over. It was weird because as an adult, I enjoyed it OK, (even though it was painfully slow at times) but it just seemed like it wasn't something that little ones could really appreciate. I liked the story and the animation was really colorful and well-done. But, a lot of the college humor was lost on them and the things that were actually funny and on their level, weren't until the last half of the film. But by that time, they'd already lost all of the kids in the theater to boredom.
Another thing is, that there is absolutely nothing to be gained by seeing this in 3D. If you feel that you MUST see it in the theater, don't waste your money on the 3D ticket. After seeing The Croods (twice) and being completely blown away by the 3D (and everything else about the movie), this was a huge let down. Hopefully Despicable Me 2 will help us rebound next week.
