    Those going to the movie should stick around for the credits, as the kids' final movie is shown as the credits roll. It's very funny.
    We sure can produce a token fat kid!

    I don't know how good or bad he is because I haven't seen it, but I've heard good reviews (from obviously biased sources). I think acting would be a tough profession--so much is about having the right look, being in the right place at the right time, and knowing the right people, while so little is about actual talent. This kid was pretty good but I would never say he was the best in the program here, and his getting a role in a big movie was a surprise. My son had mentioned that he was going to be in a movie, but the first time I saw that it would be a Spielberg film was in the trailer on TV (where he gets a few seconds).
    At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

      I was disappointed after seeing some pretty effective trailers. It was just boring to me, but I can see how others liked it. I think the director tried to cram too much story into the move.

        I thought he was terrific in the role.
        Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

            I think it is. I believe it might have 1 f-bomb. No nudity, no crazy violence, and I don't think it is over the top scary.

              Sadly I think now days younger kids know about the f-bomb. On the way back from the Bee's game, my granddaughter and her two friends must have said fart at least 5 times.

              I was appalled. Back in my day little girls never said fart. I am not sure they even knew what one was.
