Watched Turbo with the Kids

We were supposed to watch Pacific Rim today but there were no 3 empty seats that were next to each other in the movie house. There were 2 empty seats together and another seat in the row behind but the kids didn't want to sit separately from me, so we watched Turbo in 3D instead.

I thought I'd be bored but it was surprisingly entertaining. The premise of a racing snail that's able to challenge IndyCar racing cars is just so unbelievable, but the character of Tito, owner of the snail, is so endearing, he was able to make me care about what happens to the business he shares with his brother, which therefore made me look forward to the outcome of the race.

Although the outcome was somewhat predictable, the final moments of the race made me laugh because of the absurd, frantic, crazed response of the snail's main opponent. It wasn't a great movie that I'd want to see again, but I did enjoy it, and, more importantly, the kids did too.
