The Lego Batman Movie

Let me start this post out by saying that you don't watch the Lego Batman movie for the science. LOL! You watch it for the humor and important life message! My 11 year old was off at Camp Quest the other week so it was a good time to spend some quality time with my 8 year old. We managed to keep ourselves occupied for the week, filled with inside and outside activities, friends coming over, and just some down time to chill while I got some work done. One evening, after her taijutsu practice, we cuddled up on the couch and watched the Lego Batman movie.

One word: hilarious! I've watched the original The Lego Movie and it was a blast, but I'd never gotten around to watching the Batman spinoff. I'm sure most of the humor went above my 8 year old's head, but she had a great time watching it too. In addition to the humor, there's a great message that is sent to the audience, which is the importance of working together. We learn in the movie Batman can't do it all himself and hope to save the day. He must accept the help of others. It's a message that is very true in everyday life. I'm one who likes to solve problems on my own and sometimes it's a struggle to admit I need help. I think this is true for many of us and The Lego Batman movie brings forward this point in a very fun, humorous way.

If you're looking for a great movie to watch with your kids that both of you will find equally entertaining, The Lego Batman movie is your go to.
