Both adults and children will enjoy "The Lego Movie," so be sure to check out the reviews and trailer below.
The Washington Post gives "The Lego Movie" 3.5 out of 4 stars:
"The Lego Movie" pokes fun at anyone who would argue that Lego products are, as one character puts it, "a highly sophisticated, interlocking brick system," and not simply toys. But it also makes fun of itself, tweaking the conventions of narrative filmmaking, animation and Lego model-making itself. It's a constant pleasure to discover how the animators have figured out how to render such un-bricklike substances as water, soap bubbles, the steam from a locomotive or flames.
The Chicago Tribune gives the film a four-star rating:
"Finally! A comedy that works. An animated film with a look - a kinetic aesthetic honoring its product line's bright, bricklike origins - that isn't like every other clinically rounded and bland digital 3-D effort. A movie that works for the Lego-indebted parent as well as the Lego-crazed offspring. A movie that, in its brilliantly crammed first half especially, will work even if you don't give a rip about Legos."
Rotten Tomatoes audience reviewers certify the film fresh with a 91 percent rating:
"My inner child is screaming, and at my present age, I am crying. 'The Lego Movie' is absolutely everything you hoped it to be, and more. It's not like every other silly kids film that takes characters and just does quirky things with them, it's a film (penned by the guys who wrote the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatball films) that has genuine heart to it, and I must say that I had no issues with it whatsoever. If you are a kid, the action and jokes will make you laugh hysterically, but if you are an adult, the sympathetic moments in the film will make you tear up and wish you'd stay a kid forever," KJ Proulx wrote.
