"What Did You Think Of.....Captain Underpants?"

For our latest review we took the twins to see "Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie". I say "we"...I let Kate take them with their Aunty Spot while I sat in Costa and read my book with a latte. Here is their review:

Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie

WARNING: COULD CONTAIN SPOILERS

Describe "Captain Underpants" in a nut shell:

Ruby: It is about a man who is a teacher and a boy who finds a ring and turns him in to Captain Underpants.

Poppy: Two little boys who love making comics and there was a nasty teacher and they turned him into Captain Underpants.

Kate/Spot: Comic books come to life.

What was your favourite bit of "Captain Underpants?"

Ruby: Every time the boy said "Freeze" and talked to the camera (broke the 4th wall).

Poppy: When he was changing to Captain Underpants and then back to the teacher loads of times.

Kate/Spot: Two words....Fanny Waffle! See it and you'll see it's not as rude as it sounds! Hilarious!

And what bit did you least enjoy?

Ruby: I thought it was all good.

Poppy: I was a bit scared when the toilet ate Captain Underpants.

Kate/Spot: There were no down moments or slow bits...it was all pretty good.

Who was your favourite character and why?

Ruby: I liked all of the characters because they were funny.

Poppy: Captain Underpants because he was funny.

Kate/Spot: We liked George and the dinner lady Edith.

Would you watch it again?

Ruby: *A huge head nod with a mouth full of spaghetti

Poppy: Yeah

Kate/Spot: I wouldn't object if the kids put it on to watch.

How many stars out of 5 would you award "Captain Underpants?"

Ruby: A hundred million and 760 thousand million ten hundred and four

Poppy: Infinity and eleven

Kate/Spot: A solid 3 stars from us

Number of snacks required: A mix up bag of sweets kept them going...we took no crisps but were asked for crisps.

Number of toilet breaks: One each at separate times.

Number of questions asked during the movie: Only one - if it was like Shaun the Sheep or drawn on a computer. Not bad.

Level of fidgeting: None. They were good.

Recommended by Adults for Kids: Yes - it was funny. Childish toilet humour that kids love with moments that parents will find funny that will go over the kids' heads. It is definitely worth a watch.

A Dad Review: Discovery Museum

DISCOVERY MUSEUM One of the things I love about living in Newcastle is that there is so much to do within a pretty small area. From my house I can travel 4 miles in one direction and be in the middle of a city and 6 miles in the other direction and I am at the beach. We spend a fair amount of time in the city centre as there is so much more to it than shopping, eating and drinking. There is a plethora of cultural places that can be visited and there are a boat load of educational places too. One place that I feel falls in to both the category of "Cultural" and "Educational" is the "Discovery Museum". The "Discovery Museum" is located in Blandford Square which is not in the heart of the city but it is only a five minute walk away from the main shopping area. The museum is operated by Newcastle City Council and is one of many FREE activities that you can do in the city centre. If you follow my blog you will know that I am a huge ...

"Grandma...Can We Have A Sleepover?"

When you find out you are having a baby it is a surreal feeling. When you find out that you are having two at the same time it is even more surreal!! We found out, like most parents, at our 12 week scan and once we had told our family and close friends we announced it to the world via Facebook. We received mainly positive reactions from everybody as most people would write comments like: " That is amazing news " or " Congratulations. So happy for you both " or " Double the babies means double the love " And so on. But there were the odd comments we received that I chose to ignore at first but I didn't forget them and they pondered in my mind for months on end. They were the comments like: " Say goodbye to ever sleeping again " and " Prepare to never have any money for the rest of your life. Babies are expensive and two at once is even more expensive " and " My friend has twins and he had a nervous breakdown when t...

Me And My Dad: Reading

Me and My Dad: 3: Reading My Dad is an avid reader! He always has at least one book on the go but more often than not he will have about ten! He buys books, he borrows books off friends, he borrows them from the library, he downloads them on his Kindle...he will read a book in any format. Naturally because of that, I too am an avid reader (although these days I don't read as much as I used to). I love to get myself lost in a good story and I don't particularly have a genre that I prefer. I like a good thriller, a scary horror, a mystery, an adventure, fantasy and even the occasional piece of "chick-lit" (I like Sophie Kinsella books...she is pretty funny). These are five books that I associate with my Dad, all for different reasons. 1: Well Done Noddy by Enid Blyton My brother was a big fan of the "Noddy" books so we had lots in the house growing up. As I was younger than him, they were passed down to me. My Dad would often read me ...
