Three-year-old Movie Critic: Despicable Me

Becky: What did you see today?
Holly: Spickle!
B: What was it about?
H: A bad guy.
B: What did he do?
H: He was mean. And there were yellow things. What were they?
B: I don't know!
H: Thea, what were the yellow things?
Thea: Minions.
H: Yes!
B: Then what happened?
H: There were girls, and they were good. And they went like this: [makes frowny face]
B: That's all?
H: Yep.

Three-year-old Movie Critic: Toy Story 3

This time, I only knew she had gone to see a movie, but I didn't know which one.

Becky: What movie did you see?
Holly: I don't know.
B: Well what was the movie about?
H: A bus!
B: A bus? What did it do?
H: It went to a scary place. There was fire.
B: There was fire in the scary place?
H: Yes!
B: (still no idea what movie this was) Were there any kids in the movie? Any girls or boys?
H: There was only one girl. And a cowboy.
B: A cowboy, huh? Was the cowboy's name Woody?
H: Yes!
B: Did you see Toy Story 3?
H: Yes!!!

A bus that went into a scary place with fire? I haven't seen "Toy Story 3" yet so I don't know what actually happened, but apparently this was the main plotline that stood out to Holly.

For the record, Tim Burton's recent "Alice In Wonderland" was described by Holly thusly: "A girl stabbed a dragon. That's all."

Three-year-old Movie Critic: The Karate Kid

Holly went with her dad and sisters to see "The Karate Kid" (the 2010 version obviously) in the theater. Here is her take, in Q and A form.

Becky: What was the movie about?
Holly: The Karate Kid. (duh, Mom)
B: Oh? What did he do in the movie?
H: SHE. It was a SHE.
B: The Karate Kid was a girl?
H: Yes. SHE. (Sorry, Jaden Smith.)
B: All right. What did she do?
H: She kicked! (Kicks her own foot into the air.)
B: Oh yeah? Who did she kick?
H: She kicked the bad guys! They were being mean to her!

And there you have it, plot summary of "The Karate Kid." She kicked the bad guys.
