"What Did You Think Of.....Despicable Me 3?"

This week the Twiglet's and I are reviewing "Despicable Me 3" which is the third movie in the "Despicable Me" series (not that you'd ever have guessed that).

Here goes...
 
Despicable Me 3

 
WARNING: COULD CONTAIN SPOILERS 
 
Describe "Despicable Me 3" in a nut shell:
 
Ruby: A bad boy makes a giant robot and tries to kill everyone
 
Poppy: It is about the Minions going to jail and coming back and Gru finds them and helps them
 
Me: Dru meets his twin brother Gru and they learn to bond whilst trying to stop a former child-star gone crazy from destroying the world whilst The Minions try to go back to being bad and Lucy learns to be a mother.  
 
What was your favourite bit of "Despicable Me 3?"
 
Ruby: When the little girl got her unicorn
 
Poppy: When the Minions came from jail because it was happy
 
Me: There were loads of genuinely funny moments but for me it was when Dru and Gru pretended to be each other at the dinner table.
 
And what bit did you least enjoy?
 
Ruby: When he made the giant robot because it was big and scary
 
Poppy: When the big mean guy said, I mean, made a big giant robot and was going to destroy Hollywood and that was very bad
 
Me: It was all relatively inoffensive and good fun - there weren't any bits that I particularly found boring or that I didn't enjoy.
 
Who was your favourite character and why?
 
Ruby: The Minions because they are funny
 
Poppy: The Minions because they are very funny and in another film they took pictures of their butts
 
Me: I thought Dru was a brilliant new addition to the series - his laugh is hilarious!
 
Would you watch it again?
 
Ruby: Yes I would
 
Poppy: Yep
 
Me: I already have - one of my clients at work dragged me to see it 3 days later!
 
How many stars out of 5 would you award "Despicable Me 3?"
 
Ruby: Sixty two hundred and a hundred and fifty million thousand sixty and seventy eight
 
Poppy: Nine hundred and fifty eight million thousand and sixty eight, no, hang on, sixty nine...yeah sixty nine!
 
Me: Not quite as enthusiastic as those two...I'd give it 3 out of 5
 
Number of snacks required: Not too many
 
Number of toilet breaks: One each
 
Number of questions asked during the movie: Only a couple
 
Level of fidgeting: They were both relatively still and stayed in their seats for the majority of the movie
 
Recommended by Adults for Kids: Absolutely - kids love this series so there is no reason why they shouldn't watch it. Although my niece, who is 3, did squeal a few times during the "mild peril" and apparently had a nightmare that night about it.

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 &
