My opinion: 
This movie was SO cute! It's a great family movie! Brayden loved it and kept dancing to it. It had a great plot. It was fun and not boring at all. It was very funny! It also had a TON of great/popular songs. I love Jason Lee. If I were you I would definitely buy this movie! This movie would be perfect for an Easter basket for your children! They have even released printable Easter cards for the movie!
