Go Ralphie! GO! My Simpson's movie review.

[mdmc]

We had gotten to the theatre about 40 minutes early to make sure that we got good seats. The theatre had not been cleared out nor cleaned out, so the attendant was forming a line. I was the first in the line.
A couple of minutes later a group of twenty something uber cool friends took up the space on the waiting line. They were all telling jokes and chillin. It was good times.
More kids, teens, and families started to stand on the line with the rest of us.
True to Simpson’s form, the movie attendant went to flirt with another teenie bopper worker, so there was no “authority” figure to stop people from going into the movie.
Stoner after stoner walked by, attempting to carry their treats and find theatre 10 at the same time. They would walk to 10, stand there for a minute, and then come join us in line.
My girlfriend went for munchies. While she was off, a black teen couple came to the front of the line. The guy looked around, confused. “Where the Simpson’s at?” he asked me.
I told him here. That we were waiting for the movie. Here. This kid made me look sober. They reeked like a blunt and had pure red eyes. I tried to explain that theatre 10 was not cleaned up yet and they were making us wait in line before we could sit in theatre 10. They didn't get it. The girl asked her guy, “Did we miss it?” She appeared angry and put out. They walked away. The line got to about 20. My girlfriend returned with munchies and theatre 10 was opened to us. We took our seats.
We held two seats for our friends. They joined us a couple minutes later.
My buddy’s cell phone beeps with the “low battery beep”. A couple of minutes his phone does it again, and I look at my phone. My girl thinks it is my dying phone that is making the noise, and says, “Why don’t you turn that thing off?” My buddy replies, “Yeah, I guess I should.” My girlfriend apologizes through all of our laughter that she would never tell someone what to do, except for me. We are all laughing uncontrollably when the previews start.
The movie starts with Ralphie Wiggum standing in the “O” in the Twentieth Century FOX logo, singing along with the 20thCenFOX theme music. The audience joined in with his singing. Bun Ba BA BAHHHH! A couple more kids run into the theatre to take their seats. I yell out at the screen, “Go Ralphie! GO!” My buddy yells out in his best Ralph Wiggum imitation, “Why do people run from me?”
We laugh non stop through the first half hour.
Then we lose our buzz.
The movie was clever and well animated. If you don’t mind giving money up to FOX, then this movie is a must see. Highly recommended.
