So I’m going to tell the truth about something that shouldn’t be that much of a secret. I’m a big ass kid at heart, tehe. This holiday season I went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks: Road Trip. If I’m being completely honest, I love the Chipmunks and I’ve seen every movie that they’ve come out with. This time it was decided that we would go see them on the big screen. And damn it, I was absolutely excited to watch my lil homies do they thing.

From Alvin being his typical mischievous and Theodore providing his cute, innocent fun, to Simon being..well Simon; this movie doesn’t disappoint from the fun and laughter that all the movies provided. Also, I love when they sang and the songs that they gave me this was were songs I could jam too in my seat. I was like a big kid in a candy store when they was hitting all the songs from the year. Bopping my head, tapping my feet and enjoying those loveable little, fury creatures. If you’ve got kids it’s definitely a must and if you are a big kid and just love kiddie movies go see the crew.

The second movie I saw this holiday weekend was Daddy’s Home. I have to say that I’m partial to Will Ferrell movies because he is a damn fool. He truly didn’t disappoint in this movie. Mark Wahlberg also did his part to make this movie a real must see. It had all the stuff you could ask for. It was funny and dramatic, had surprises and an intriguing story line. It really highlights how hard it is to be a step-parent in today’s society.

It highlights the dynamic between the cool, hip but unprepared father versus the responsible, less cool but more stable step father. The lessons that are learned from this funny movie are things that you can apply truly to your every day life. You learn how to really manage this difficult situation, but you most certainly learn what not to do too. LOL, Will Ferrell makes being a step-father cool and also very comedic at the same time.

If you like to laugh and you like surprises check out this movie. There will be things that you really don’t expect and the guest appearance at the end absolutely caught me off guard. Just when you think the movie gave you all you wanted,  it gives you just a little more to send you home with. If you got some free time go check it out. Promise you will laugh a good bit.
