Mum's Summar Movie Review 002 - Finding Dory
Finding Dory (2016)
My 2nd and final June holiday's movie. I was a huge huge fan of Finding Nemo, as it was funny, heartwarming and entertaining. When I first watched it 13 years ago, I was still a student and nowhere near being a parent.
13 years on, as a mother of two, this is the type of show I want my kids to watch as it is about family and learn about the marine life.
In a nutshell
The show continues from Finding Nemo, a year on. Dory suddenly recalls memories of her family. Worried about her, Marlin (reluctantly of course) and Nemo embarked on a journey with Dory to find her family and home.
This is how I expect the show to be, just like Toy Story. The laughs are familiar, the feel good moments makes you go Awww... and like the first show, it ends how a family movie does. It is just great to watch even though you know what to expect. You cannot help but to cheer for Dory, with her good nature, and you can't help but feel that better things may come if we think less and do the right thing.
What's good:
- The nostalgic feeling of the 1st show
- Laughs laughs laugh throughout
- No boring or fill in scenes to pass the time
- Entertaining for both adults and kids
What's not good
- No surprises or improvements from Finding Nemo
- Too predictable
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 (3D might be worthy if you have kids as they will be AWE of the fishes)
Mum's Summer Movie Review 001 - The Angry Bird Movie
The Angry Birds Movie (2016)
We decided to bring our kids to catch the show as it seems like a nice and cute show... But end of the day, I learnt new morals which seems to infer humans are like pigs in the show. Well, probably I am just thinking too much.
In a nutshell:
The most successful phone game of all time, is the Angry Birds, with over 2 billion downloads across all platforms as at 2014 (according to Wikipedia), spawning theme parks, merchandise like food, products, cartoons etc. In order to rejuvenate and milk the cash cow before the popularity dies, Rovio came up with the Angry Birds Movie.
The show is an origins story, mainly on how Red (the main character in Angry Birds) started off angry and how he became friends with Bomb and Chuck. The storyline is nothing new, about Pigs stealing eggs to make omelettes, Mighty Eagle as the only bird that fly with wings and why it is to be angry.
This is the type oaf show to watch, laugh and forget. It will not be the type to re-watch like Star Wars and with a sequel. It is to introduce Angry Birds to audiences that were not born when the game started its popularity.

What's good:
- Easy to understand
- Fast paced
- The birds are so cute, angry or not
What's not good:
- Too similar to the game and cartoons
- Gets boring after awhile
- More suitable for straight to video or as a TV movie
Overall Rating: 2.5 / 5 (Not worth the weekend movie rate. Catch at GV cinema for the kids free with adult deal - link below)
