we went to the theater as a family on a rainy day. enjoyed the film. however, my precious daughter who is two (which she has gone to a few shows in the theater in the last few months) was done and wanted to run around 2/3 through the movie (when the popcorn was gone), however the end of the movie is exciting and loud enough that she & i were not a distraction playing in the back of the theater (so i still got to see how it ended). i'd see a matinee if i were you...maybe not worth the cost of taking the whole fam out for a "night" at the theater.
