The last movie we went to see as a family at the theater was The Rookie starring Dennis Quaid - thought the boys would enjoy it and I ended up LOVING it...bought the dvd the day it was released! With 2 boys that are now 13 or older, we all have to pay adult prices so it's just too expensive to go to the movies as tickets alone would cost us almost $30 then to buy the drinks and popcorn - it's just too much. So what we do is if it's a movie we think we'll enjoy, we buy it. That way, we can watch at our own pace, watch it again in case we "missed" something, and fix our own snacks at home. We wanted to go see Pirates of the Caribean, Dead Man's Chest but we had so much going on at the time it was here, we just had no time to go see it so - we'll buy it when it's released on dvd.
