Hi, I’m Heather, Barbara’s daughter, and I’ll be giving you a little insight into a family friendly movie or a date night movie each month. I have two daughters, ages 4 and 1, so we get to watch a ton of kid movies but we do watch movies just for us as well.

February movie of the month

Bumblebee

PG-13

7.2 stars out of 10

1 hour and 54 minutes long

Action, adventure, sci-fi

In this prequel film to 'The Transformers' film series, this movie opens on the planet Cybertron as a fierce battle rages on between the good Autobots and the evil Decepticons. Optimus Prime (voice of Peter Cullen) blasts away foes as he calls in assistance from B-127 (voice of Dylan O'Brien). The small Autobot comes in beating the Decepticons until Optimus tasks him with a mission.

Eddie and I went to go see this movie for date night. We are both huge fans of the transformer movies, but as for me, bumblebee is my favorite character from all the transformer movies. When I heard that there was a movie coming out just about bumblebee I was super excited. As the movie started I had to figure out where it was starting at, as the movie progressed I soon figured out that it was starting at the beginning of the transformers’ life on earth. The movie was not only funny but also a little sad, but most importantly it tells you everything you wanted to know about bumblebee. Eddie and I both really enjoyed the movie as well as the 10 other people that were in the theater with us. We went on a Thursday night so there weren’t any kids at the movie but it seemed to me like a really family friendly movie for all ages.
