Fred 2: Night of the Living Fred (2011)
Funny, silly, cute movie
In the world of stupid silly cute movies i give this an 8. Definitely not 8 as compared to Star Wars or Indian Jones, but as compared to Pee Wee Herman, or The Muppets, or maybe Dumb and Dumber. Part of the high rating is that the first movie was a bunch of silly clips tied together to make a movie, whereas this movie actually had a story line, and pretty good one at that. We watched it with the kids, and mom and dad liked it better than the kids,(they liked the first one better). If you are in the mood for cute stupid silly funny, this is a good choice. Fred wasn't as annoying as he was in the first movie, and he was more of a real person in this movie. His friend Bertha was played by a different actress, but they look a lot alike. The younger sister from Modern Family starred as the evil neighbor kids little sister. Fred's mom had some funny lines, and his "Dad" made some excellent appearances. Definitely a fun surprise for me that I enjoyed this one so much.
Tron: Legacy (2010)
movie for fan-boys, NOT for regular people
I went to this movie because 1. the kids wanted to see the only movie in town and 2. it got pretty good reviews on this site. I was quite disappointed. It seems that the "fan-boys" really love this movie, but us "regular" folks find it quite boring. Or Lame. Lame story line, lame acting, lame dialog, by the end of the show the only thing I cared about was "I hope this is the last scene". I know my kids would rate it higher (6 i think they said), but dad gives this movie a 2. Ugh. IMDb requires more lines to the review, so I will state again that it seems like the reviews that loved this movie were also big fans of the original, and have been waiting for this sequel for a long time. I did see the original many years ago, but do not recall it hardly at all. Maybe that would have helped, maybe not. But if you have other choices for movies to see, strongly consider them instead of this one. Also, I expect a Disney to be a good movie, not lame like this was...
