Ideal entertainment for the timid and unadventurous!

If you've ever wanted to see a cinematic mash-up of the Goonies and Cloverfield, then look no further. That's about the best you can say about 'Super 8', and it's not a compliment. Honestly, I regret even paying half-price rental for this candy-assed load of sticky-sweet bubblegum nonsense. 'Super 8' was total cornball pap from start to finish, and an ideal flick for the kids' slumber party. Rest assured that youngsters won't be getting too many bad dreams after this one. Oh look, I've said all I need to, but since I have to spin this review out to a minimum of ten lines of writing, let me just say in closing that okay there we go that's ten lines, see ya later.
