The movie felt me feel so good, I was probably the person laughing the hardest and loudest in the cinema... It just did it for me... I am still grinning thinking about it. Totally and utterly loved it! The dialogue, humor, story, happy ending, colours... it was all just perfect for me.

P.S. Every time I see valda on a screening the movie is either good or great - Legend of the Guardians, Unknown, Rio :D Sucker Punch was an exception, but the exception just enforces the rule.

I will tell my friend Dan you said that, cos every time we see a film its rubbish, Yogi Bear Repo Men, Sucker Punch. So I am not the jinx! thanks Deni o/

Agree that the penguin film looks tailor made for Beate. I still smile each time I see her dancing penguins.

I saw the film yesterday, 4th night out in a row and I was exhausted. As soon as the film started I was fine, up, alert and really enjoying it. It was just what I wan't in a kids film, bright colours, funny characters, lots of noise and things for the adults to laugh it. I thought the use of 3D was unnecessary as usual but it didn't give me a headache, and a lot of it didn't really seem to work. I didn't notice much coming out of the screen at me, just more of depth to the characters on screen.

I loved the monkeys, especially the leader with his bling (shades of the Lemur King). I remember seeing something on youtube about the monkeys getting drunk at resorts, so this made me laugh even more.

Good to see so many of us together again as well. 8/10
