My husband wasn’t sure about this movie, but now that it is coming out on DVD we can watch it at home.
I did not see this film in the theater. I heard it was fabulous. A pal just told me last night if it was still playing around here, that it would be good to go see. She said that the 3D is far superior on a large screen. I hope that I can catch it before it leaves.
Wasn’t sure I wanted to see this in the theater, but now that it is out on DVD I might try it.
