Kids And Adults Are Loving THE LEGO® MOVIE

By Movie Geeks | February 3, 2014

Everywhere you looked this past weekend, it was nothing but vibrant colored “bricks,” “studs,” “tiles” and “bumps” in anticipation of THE LEGO® MOVIE.

Everything was awesome for the cast of the movie as they attended Saturday’s Los Angeles premiere.

At one local St Louis cinema, families braved the cold weather on Saturday morning for the advanced screening of the movie. Family-friendly with an edge, the film offers not only big action and big laughs, but some big ideas, too.

The reaction was unanimous – Kids and adults alike are loving THE LEGO® MOVIE!

“Highly recommend the Lego movie! From Will Ferrell to Will Arnett and every character in between, the movie was witty and well written.”

“Cool”

“Totally awesome!”

“I think the adults laughed more than the kids!!!”

“Genuinely funny. So entertaining and a great story line message.”

And to top it off, the characters huddled up for The Big Game on SuperBowl Sunday.

THE LEGO® MOVIE, is the first-ever, full-length theatrical LEGO® adventure.

Directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller (“Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,” “21 Jump Street”) the original 3D computer-animated story follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as The Special, the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.

Chris Pratt is the voice of Emmet. Will Ferrell is the voice of President Business, aka Lord Business, an uptight CEO who has a hard time balancing world domination with micro-managing his own life, and Liam Neeson is the voice of Lord Business’s loyal henchman, Bad Cop/Good Cop, who will stop at nothing to catch Emmet.

It stars the vocal talents of Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman and Alison Brie, with Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman.
