I took my 17yo, 11yo, and 4yo to see it yesterday. We all loved it! 17yo DS said it was the best movie he'd seen in a long time and he's usually a very tough critic. I would be very happy to see it again.

Candyland is a must have, of course! My 4yo loves Dr Suess's Super Stretchy ABC game. Adults will enjoy playing it a little bit less; it's a cute game but really not designed for tall people.

Aww, that's adorable and hilarious! Thanks for sharing!

These stories are so helpful, everybody, I'm so glad you shared. I've been feeling very down today, but reading here has helped. If so many others can do it, and come out happier on the other side, I guess I can too!
