    Good. Because Cowboys and Aliens is the stupidest idea for a film I’ve seen it a decade.

    Why are all the kids’ movies so bland and brainless? Smurfs? Zookeeper? Is that the best Hollywood can crank out? Kids aren’t dopes, but it looks like dopey stuff is all they get. They don’t need another movie where the point is “winning isn’t everything” or “we’re all in this together”.How about a movie that deals with issues kids face today?Divorce. Drugs.Crime.Bueller? Bueller?

    re: Irene. As long the movie can be made entertaining. I mean don’t kids want to be entertaned, parents too.

    Parents will want to hang themselves watching this movie. I’m all for entertaining kids, but they’re just putting out lowest common denominator movies. KIds are smart. Why just movies where fart jokes are the whole story?

    C&A is sounding like a major box office bomb. It cost $163 mil to make and will debut with $35 mil over the weekend? Ouch.

    Are you serious with this comment? For the most part, young kids aren’t going to the movies themselves. The parents are taking them. I wouldn’t want to drag my kids to see a movie about divorce, drugs or crime.

    I just paid $22.87 for an iPad2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $38.76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $675 which only cost me $62.81 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, CentHub.com

    That’s your choice. You are free to go see as many inane movies as you like about animals teaching adult men how to get a date or a smurf movie so awful your kids will root for Gargomel.

    wow ur child is gonna have a messed up life.

    So I think we can call C&A an epic fail, and on a side note kids movies shouldn’t always deal with the same generic topics. So I think we can call C&A an epic fail, and on a side note kids movies shouldn’t always
