This was a really cute movie. "Everything is awesome" is still going through my head. Catchy little song.
So, I'm not really sure what exactly to say about it. I haven't seen anything like this movie before. Maybe that is what I should say - it is an extremely unique movie. It definitely brought back memories of playing with Legos when I was little with my stepsister, Kelly. We had a huge bag full of them. I don't even know if we had any actual kits cause we never built anything off of instructions.
I recommend this movie. I also recommend buying a Lego set before watching it cause you will want to build something after seeing it.
Favorite Line(s): SPACESHIP!...SPACESHIP!...SPACESHIP! / Any idea is a good idea except the non-happy ones.

I was totally engrossed in this movie. I really enjoyed it, but it wasn't what I thought it would be. It was a little shocking, a lot funny, a bit dramatic, and totally worth every minute (it was a long movie).
When I state "it wasn't what I thought it would be", I basically mean that I wasn't expecting the humor and absurdity that was prevalent throughout the film. I appreciated the fallback to the 80s. It was a time of excessiveness. I think the film reflected the 80s and 90s attitude perfectly.
There were two scenes that were absolutely amazing - Matthew McConaughey and Leonardo DiCaprio's lunch discussion and the delayed hit of Lemon overdose. I laughed - and I'm still laughing thinking about it. That is definitely a sign of a good film. Just thinking about parts of it make me laugh.
I want to see it again.
Favorite Line: I am not gonna die sober.
