Monsters vs. Aliens Review

We went to see this since it was at the dollar theater, and my kids had wanted to see it.  We were pleasantly surprised since the critics had tended to pan it.  We loved that it had a woman that finds herself and becomes strong in her role, but also that it points to being different can be a good thing.  This obviously was the adult story line in the movie, but it was also good fun to watch and we laughed quite a bit as a family at all the gags, etc.  My children loved the monsters, all of which were unique.  The movie kept moving along and kept our interest as the parents, also, which isn't always easy for an animated movie to do.
