DIARY OF A WIMPY KID 2: RODRICK RULES

Movie: Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2: Rodrick Rules
Jan's Rating: 10
Time: 1 Hour 36 Minutes

Jan's Opinion: LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT! I took my 12-year old grandson to see it yesterday and we both enjoyed it very much. It was laugh-out-loud funny. It is about 2 brothers, the Wimpy Kid Greg, who is in middle school, and his brother Rodrick, who is in high school. They don't get along at all and the older brother is always pulling tricks on the younger brother and his friend, Rowley. The Mother finally grounds them for the weekend and the parents go away, leaving the boys alone to try to get along and of course they aren't allowed to have any friends over. Yea, right. It is just adorable. You should see if whether you have kids this age or not.

THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU

Movie: The Adjustment Bureau
Jan's Rating: 7
Time: 1 Hour 50 Minutes

Jan's Opinion: The Enquirer gave this movie an A- and that's pushing it a bit. Cousin Bonnie and I went to see this movie today and weren't as impressed, but possibly a younger audience will appreciate it more. Matt Damon is running for Senator of New York and Emily Blunt is a Ballerina and they meet and the attraction is so strong that they fall in love almost immediately. (It does have a good love story.) However, the Sci Fi part of the story is what we could have done without. There is a group of men called The Adjustment Bureau who make sure things happen in a person's life as they think they should happen, and they DON'T think these two lovers should be together. Hence, they do everything they can to keep them apart but of course true love prevails!
