Cars 3 was a fun experience and I am proud to say that I, with no kids, invited my friends, with three kids, to attend. We had a blast! It was neat to see the kids' excitement for seeing a movie and how engulfed in it they were. Cars was about the last races of our friend Lightning McQueen who has a big decision to make. He is being out raced by younger, more advanced race cars and needs to decide if it's time for him to say goodbye to the world he has always known and always been good at. He is convinced he has one more race left in him so works with a great support team to make this happen. In the end he ends up choosing between focusing on his own dream and helping someone else achieve theres. This movie was the perfect family movie with the appropriate amount of adult humor to help all stay engaged.
The House was a hilarious movie about two parents (played by Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler) who realize they have no money to send their only child to college. To them, if they can't afford to send her, college won't be in the cards, so they devise a plan with a down and out of his lucky friend to raise funds. Now their friend is in the middle of a divorce due to his severe gambling addition so it isn't at all surprising when the idea is to run a casino out of his home. This seems nuts at first, but the numbers can't be argued. Will and Amy's characters soon realize they are pretty good at this new lifestyle and take things a little to far when fingers are getting chopped off, police get involved, and scary mobsters get wind of their operations. This movie was funny, raunchy, and packed with swearing. Picture a mix between SNL and Parks and Rec. I laughed out loud a ton and think you will too.
So if you are in the mood for a comedy, depending on who is tagging along, I hope one of these makes your 4th of July to-do list.
