9 of us saw it last night 3 adults and six kids.....we all loved it. I was shocked at the demographic in the theatre....mostly HIGH SCHOOL kids. I was really surprised. Theatre was full.
I have to say I liked the original but it was not one of my favorites but this one I really liked. I thought it flowed better and had a better story. I really think they nailed the emotions of what kids go through on a daily basis. I got teary eyed at one point.
We are going to the drive-in tonight to see it. It is also the one night of the year you can bring dogs (it’s a fundraiser.) it is going to be crazy busy.
I really loved it! I've seen it twice, and I really think it did a good job following up on stuff from the first movie and showing what growing up is like.
