Yesterday after my first visit to the Tallahassee Flea Market (which was everything I wanted it to be) we went and caught the 330 showing off Monsters vs Aliens. Or is it Aliens vs Monsters? Does it matter? Maybe? Not to me? Regardless, it would have been nice to see it in 3D, but we're all too broke to afford the extra dollar, and supposedly, according to Kevin, it was because Katie drives like a grandma.
This movie sports what can only be described as an all-star cast. As in, ya know, they're all stars. You've got Reese Witherspoon, Hugh Laurie, Seth Rogan, Paul Rudd, Stephen Colbert, and Keifer Sutherland just to name a few. I think most of them I have never seen/heard do voice acting before, but they all shone through here. Props to the casting department for nailing the voices for the characters in the film.
The film worked on many levels, mainly in carrying through the Disney founded (at least I feel Disney founded it, but maybe not) tradition of throwing in jokes for the adults that the kids will more than likely not catch. There were a handful of lines in this movie that were clearly targeted at older, and even more educated, viewers and they were all absolutely golden. Beyond the humor though, I really enjoyed it past the first 10 minutes or so. The beginning was kind of awkward due to them rushing to set up backstory and motivation for the main character, but after that the film settled down and became consistently enjoyable.
I'd definitely recommend this movie to just about anyone. I'm sure there are those of you out there who can't come down from their high horse enough to enjoy a good slap stick gag or a Stephen Hawkings joke, but for the rest of us, Monsters vs Aliens was a winner in it's own right.
Monsters vs Aliens gets 6 Beards and A Moustache. The Moustache is for the Hawkings joke.

It occurs to me, that despite discovering this a while back, I forgot to share it with you, my fellow beard enthusiast! I dare you to watch this and try not to fall in love.
