So this past weekend I came home from the university, determined to take my younger brother to go see Paul with me. After letting him know I was taking him to the movies, he asked if he could invite his friends. I looked around, and only saw 3 other kids, all of whom I know, and I figured, sure why not? It's only 3.
When I walked out to the toyota a few minutes later, their numbers had multiplied to 7. The back seat had 4 sitting in it, and there were 3 sitting in the truck. And they were all being loud and obnoxious. I felt like an underpaid babysitter by the time we arrived at the theatre.
When I got to the ticket window, I did a quick head count again, and asked for 8 tickets to Paul, at which point the ticket woman told me it was rated R, and kids under 17 needed permission from their parent or legal guardian. I was stuck at the theatre with a crowd of rowdy 10-15 year olds, and for some reason, one 7 year old, and I couldn't even go to see the movie I was willing to pay money for. When we learned that we couldn't see Paul, one of the more annoying girls in the groups screamed that she wanted to see Gnomeo and Juliet. I told her I'd rather eat dog crap than see anything with singing in it, so I settled for Rango.
Now I'm not particularly fond of lizards, but I've gotta admit, Rango is the one exception to my fear of them. Johnny Depp is probably the only actor I could ever imagine that could pull of a western lizard actor so stunningly. The entire audience was cracking up within the first minutes. I myself was in tears because I was laughing so hard. The plot is easy to follow, full of humor and yet still captivating. I've discovered a new villain that I absolutely adore, Rattlesnake Jake is probably the coolest animated character I've seen in a while.
All in all, after all the hardship that my little movie crew put me through, throwing popcorn at people, taking pictures with the flash on JUST as the movie starts(Sean), and whispering the entire time, I thouroughly enjoyed Rango, which was a super surprise to me.
Everyone should go out and see it. I promise you'll enjoy every minute.
