Downright awful...

Sorry to say.... I was really hoping to like it.... my kids didn't even like it. Not one peep...no chuckle.... they just thought it was a strange movie.... but then again... Johnny Depp does some strange things.... but WOW.... I can sit through pretty much anything and this was torture. Which brings me to a HUUUUUGE pet peeve of mine. Why oh WHY do films for children have to SWEAR?!??!? Really? There were a few blatant swear words in this movie at pivotal moments... which then elicits a.... " **gasp** did you hear them Mom? They said the 'H' word!!! Did you HEAR him Mom?"

Seriously?

Landon then continues to repeat it all night and tell me that "Jake the Snake said it in Rango and that is a KID movie!!!" I just wish that for ONCE we could sit through a kiddo movie without having to explain things.... OK.... let me put my soapbox away... it was bad. Plain.old.BAD.

Sorry to hear it was so bad! I have the same pet peeve and never realized how often inappropriate words are said in kids movies (like stupid and idiot in the Toy Story series) and have to explain even those to my kids. Thanks for the review, though, I wasn't sure about this movie yet. Hope you're doing well!
