We got the opportunity to see an early screening of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem at AMC Waterfront 22 because Pittsburgh Public Schools was distributing free tickets.
I didn't actually want to attend. I accepted the tickets because I wanted to make my boys feel special. And, as a working mom trying to make dollars stretch, I rarely pass up a deal to receive free entertainment!
They say that "the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry." Sometimes that's true. However, other times, a poorly laid plan can result in lots of fun! Like in this case.
I was pleasantly surprised! The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie is a feel-good movie that made the audience applaud at the end! You come because your kids want to go, and you stay because it's well acted and has a moving story line. Ice Cube makes a really compelling villain! And, we can all relate to the unhealthy lengths we sometimes go through to fit in.
Finally, I have to thank the producers for doing the parents a true solid. The soundtrack has hella hits! So, if you choose to take your kids, and I recommend that you do, I promise you you'll be bopping in your seat and maybe even dancing in the aisle. The soundtrack is that good!
Please let me know if you see the show. And if you do, let me know if you enjoyed it and share your photos with me on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.
