Legos!

Legos are far and away the coolest toys ever invented.  I still have all mine from when I was a kid.  So what option did I have when The Lego Movie came out besides to go see it?

None.  That's the answer.  No other option.

And going to see it was a brilliant choice!  In the grand tradition of classic Pixar films (which it's actually not - it's a Warner Bros. creation), it has something for everyone.

It's the same basic obvious-bad-guy, unassuming-good-guy story.  Our unassuming good guy is Emmet, a construction worker who is mistaken for "The Special," the one who will save the Lego world from destruction by President Business (yes, there is politics in this movie too - are you surprised?  You shouldn't be.)

Bottom line: aside from possibly the most nuclear-missile-grade earworm of an original song ever, it was laugh-out-loud (yes, I really did) funny.
