      Linus: I did not! Mr. Electric, send him to the principal's office and HAVE HIM EXPELLED!

    I hated it - the kids loved it.
    I hated it.

    My two kids (5 and 7) thought it was the best movie of all time. And they've seen lots of movies. Let's face it: we can't always dictate what the kids should like. This one simply appeals to them, and from a parents perspective, its basically harmless (except to the older crowd - then it is painfully boring).

    I would recommend bringing a book.

    Or a pillow and a sweater.

    Or, at least some thoughts that you wanted to concentrate on for a while.
