"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.

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 ...

A Dad Review: Blackpool Zoo

BLACKPOOL ZOO   We have visited Blackpool several times over the past few years with the twins. We mainly visit as Kate's Aunty and her wife live there and it is nice to visit them and for them to see the twins (and us, I guess). Usually we do the "typical Blackpool stuff" like going along the prom, taking in a couple of fairground rides, a donkey ride, some ice cream etc... and we have been up Blackpool Tower. This summer when we visited we decided to visit the zoo for two reasons:   1) We have never been 2) The twins love a zoo   So that is what we did. We drove to Blackpool and met up with one of Kate's Aunties (the other was at work...we had dinner with her later on) and we hit the zoo...here is what we thought...     Blackpool Zoo is way bigger than we anticipated...there is loads to do and there are loads of animals to see. Like most zoos it is broken down in to sections: Waders...

Me And My Dad: Movies

Me and My Dad:   2: Movies   Like a lot of people my Dad and I share a love of movies. From being a child up until now we still watch movies together on a regular basis and I have great memories of watching movies with him. In this post I am going to share my memories of 5 movies that we watched together and why they have stuck with me. Here goes... 1: The Rescuers Down Under I love animated movies - always have done and always will. Growing up my Mam was not a huge fan of cartoons so we very rarely watched cartoon movies as a family and watched live action movies instead. From an early age I was introduced to some absolute classics such as "Gremlins", "The Goonies", "Private Benjamin", "Overboard", "Big Business", "Indiana Jones" and a whole load more. But my Dad and I would watch animated movies together on a regular basis. The very first movie I went to see at the cinema was with my Dad and we went to see ...
