"How To Train Your Dragon"- a movie review

Meagan Fox is hot. I know, Captain Obvious here.
-


She bothers me though to a certain degree.
-
One of the things I do as a father, Is go to bad movies. Its really part of my job. Its not in the manual they give you before you become a father, though.
-
Meagan fox was in that movie TRANSFORMERS. The excruciating pain I felt sitting in the movie theatre for 2 hours or so watching that flick, created a Mal-Association in my head with Megan Fox. Intellectually, I understand its really only my association with Megan and TRANSFORMERS, that drives my disdain for what is otherwise a beautiful, and I am sure extremely nice woman. (My Son wanted to see that movie so bad, so we did and because of that I unnaturally don't appreciate Megan Fox as Much as I am sure I otherwise would)
-
I first discussed the ridiculousness of some of the movies I have gone to see Here: http://stuffyouthinkyouneed.blogspot.com/2009/01/as-i-get-older-i-have-something-to-look.html which was my cathartic release for having gone to see "Hotel for Dogs" with my kids back in January of 09. That movie was worse than even TRANSFORMERS. (My Daughter had wanted to see that one)
-
So last night, I put on my metaphoric overalls to go and roll around in a compost machine so to speak.
-
Both my kids wanted to see the new release: HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON.
-
-
Okay, Know what? I was in my Overalls and ready for it, but this wasn't like rolling around in a compost at all. In fact it was good. It was like a beautiful Fall Saturday in Gainesville.
-
Maybe not perfect, but still just damn nice. Like A Fall Saturday when the mighty Gators play Florida International. You are not looking for any kind of a classic on a Fall Saturday like that, but say the weather was a perfect 68 degrees and all your friends were out in full and you did not have a damn care in the world type of good.
-
Its a cartoon, but they draw you in with the animation right away, and its not like you forget its a cartoon, its more like you are not conscious of it because it is fast paced and kind of bold on your eyes. The Story doesn't even take long to warm up. You are into that world after about the first minute and a half. Its just a DAMN CUTE MOVIE is all I am trying to say. Like Meagan Fox ! but in the good way, not in the psychological associated way I had previously thought of her. It was the key to unlocking and changing my whole opinion on Megan Fox. In effect, this movie, HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON, is good enough that I forgive Megan Fox for being in that dog of a movie TRANSFORMERS, because I NEVER EVER would have gone to see HTTYD if I did not have children that I wanted to take.
-
Seriously. You could safely go see this movie even if you don't have kids. Its that good of a flick. Plus when the Porn Industry ever does a spoof on it, they don't even have to alter the title.

I'd never heard about this movie until good things started popping up in people's facebook status updates. Perhaps I'll give it a shot. But not alone. It's all dependent on whether I can get a hot girl to go with me.
