We love going to see movies as a family and the summer movies this year, may be hard to top, when it comes to movie releases. Two of our current favorite summer movies, (that we may or may not have seen more than once) are Inside Out and Jurassic Park. As a mom, I want something my whole family can enjoy together and both of these movies are just that!
Inside Out
Get ready to explore your emotions with Joy, Anger, Disgust, Sadness, and Fear in Disney Pixar’s newest movie, Inside Out. The movie follows Riley as she has to leave a life she has known and loved and start over in a new city. Always the happy child, because Joy is in control, things take a turn when Sadness touches a core memory. Riley, learns what it’s like when Joy isn’t control anymore, but Joy learns a lesson of her own. That for Riley to be truly happy, she may just have to experience the other emotions as well!
I have to say when I took my younger son and daughter to see Inside Out, I had great expectations for the movie. And I was not disappointed at all! The entire movie kept all of our attention and I have to say it’s my favorite animated movie, so far, this year! Both my kids and I laughed (and us girls even cried a little) throughout the movie. This is definitely a must see for any age!
Jurassic World
Another movie we saw this summer, was Jurassic World. This one was the entire family, plus some. Myself, my hubby, my daughter, my sons, and my parents! Having grown up with Jurassic Park and it’s subsequent movies, I was ECSTATIC to find out they were making Jurassic World. I went in a bit worried, because it’s been so long and as we all know it’s hard to try to revive a classic! There was no need for worry, because Jurassic World was truly epic!
Two brothers played by Ty Simpkins and Nick Robinson gear up for an fun-filled adventure as they visit their Aunt Clair, played by Bryce Dallas Howard. They head to “Jurassic World”, a theme park full of genetically resurrected dinosaurs. Ty’s character is a HUGE fan of dinosaurs and is ready to take on everything the park has to offer. What they aren’t ready is for the biggest, baddest, newest dino of them all, to escape. Making this fun day at the park a fight to stay alive. Starring Chris Pratt as the park’s animal behaviorist, Jurassic World is a movie adventure for the whole family.
As far as what age is the right age, my kids are 10, 11, and 15, and they loved it. Had this been a few years ago, I don’t know that my daughter would have enjoyed it, it would have probably been a bit too scary for her! So, I would suggest no kids younger than 10, personally. But you know what your kids can and can’t handle. There are some scary dinosaurs, people being eaten, and dark places, so please factor in those things!
For a little summer movie themed fun try making a jar full of JOYful memories or these fun Dino-Necklaces!
Now, there are so many more summer movies coming out this like Minions, Ant-man (a must see)! So, to celebrate all these awesome movies, we get to giveaway $200 in Fandango gift cards, because I want several families to be able to go, I am breaking that down to $50 Fandango Gift Cards!
