Last night Terry and I took Madelyn to see the new A Christmas Carol movie, and we were absolutely mortified!!! The trailer for this film is very deceiving, it made this classic tale from Charles Dickens seem like it was going to be a light hearted, colorful, humerous, fun family film.....this couldn't be farther from the truth! They must have taken clips from the only 5 minutes of the movie that aren't completely horrifying to put the preview together....very misleading! I have no idea how this movie got past the sensors but it should have definitely been rated PG-13, and this is coming from me, who let my 3 year old watch The Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline, so you know it has to REALLY be that bad! Lol! Madelyn is pretty tough and actually likes scary things like monsters and ghosts, but this movie was just over the top with disturbing graphics and dark images not appropriate for anyone under the age of 13, and all of them were so unnecessary too. Maddy kept saying "I thought we were going to see a Christmas movie, not a scary movie!" There were literally other little kids in the theater crying! I am so disappointed in Disney and have no idea what demographic they were trying to target with this film. Parents please beware with this one and stay away! I would recommend A Muppet's Christmas Carol instead. That one is full of fun songs and happy characters, it will leave you feeling good and uplifted unlike this version that will leave you feeling stunned and disgusted! Yuck!
These pictures were obviously taken before we knew we were taking our 4 year old to watch a horror film. Lol!
So in an attempt to make up for our huge mistake in judgement, Terry and I decided to take Madelyn out to eat dinner at Tepanaykis so we could finally have some fun together on our date night. And fun it was, Maddy thought it was awesome! If you have kids I would definitely recommend this type of restaurant, they will get the biggest kick out of it! They cook your food on a giant grill right in front of you and your chef will entertain you with fun tricks like juggling his spatulas and flipping your food in the air, it's quite the show!

Wow. It sounds terrible. I hadn't planned on seeing it myself, but now I know to spread the word to others. I hate when a movie's trailer is not at all like the movie.
