Everything (about this movie) is AWESOME!!! And if you've seen it, you now have that song stuck in your head. You're welcome.Emmet (Chris Pratt) is just an average construction worker in Bricksburg, which is ruled by Lord Business (Will Farrell) and his instructions. Then Emmet accidentally discovers the Piece of Resistance, a lost part of the super-weapon known as the Kragle, thus making him an instrument of prophecy. Lord Business plans to use the Kragle to freeze the world and keep it in a perfect state forever. Emmet is rescued from Badcop's (Liam Neeson) interrogation by Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks). She takes him to meet the other Master Builders, limited only by their imaginations, and led by Vitruvius (Morgan Freeman). They believe Emmet has been chosen by The Man Upstairs to stop Lord Business and return the many different worlds to a state of harmony. With the help of Batman (Will Arnett), Princess Uni-kitty (Alison Brie), the pirate Metalbeard (Nick Offerman), and Benny the 1980's space guy (Charlie Day), Emmet must come up with a plan to defeat Lord Business' robot army and stop the Kragle once and for all.
This is one of those movies that your kids are going to want to watch over and over. This is good, because then it gives you an excuse to also watch it over and over to catch all the jokes and references, because holy crap are there a lot of them. This is the best family film I have seen since Toy Story 3. I have no idea what other animated films are due out this year but they are going to have to pull out all the stops to beat this one. If it seems like I'm being hyperbolic, let me tell you, I saw this movie twice in the same weekend and I laughed just as hard the second time as I did the first. This is the highly sophisticated interlocking brick system of toy movies.
