I had no pre-concieved expectation when I went into the Movie showhouse to watch Monsters vs Aliens. And I was not disapointed because. I was absolutely entertained from the start to the finish of this movie. And my two children - one boy who is 11 and his sister at 9, were too. My kids have seen just about everything and are a tough sell on these animated movies( usually-) but this movie had them laughing nearly all the way thru .So if you got kids or just love aniated 3D movies this one is Highly recomended.
