Last week I made a movie date with my best friend to see Finding Dory. Tuesday is the best night to go as it is $5 Tuesday all day, every movie.
What neither of us planned for was the time we went was probably the best time for everyone else as well. I haven't been to a theater in 38 years that was as packed as that one was for the different movies. I say 38 years because we went to see Star Wars IV that year and it was the year my youngest was also born and it was packed, so much so we were ten minutes late getting into the movie.
We weren't late, but finding a parking place was 'fun'. I was a long way down the aisle. However, being packed, and finding a parking place was well worth it. My son had said the movie was worth the price of admission. It was.
Finding Dory is a fascinating computer animated film that will melt your heart. If you've seen Finding Nemo you already know Dory has a memory problem. She can't remember anything from one moment to the next, or so it would seem. Nemo and his father, Marvin are in the movie. There are also a couple sea lions, a seal, two whales - one a baluga, not sure what the other is, and an octopus with seven tentacles called Frank. I almost forgot the bird.
The main focus of the movie is Dory finding her parents. How she does that takes you on an unforgettable adventure that will make you laugh at all the crazy antics between the characters.
If I had to guess right now, not having seen Secret Life of Pets which is topping the box office right now, I would say Finding Dory is up for a few Academy Award nominations and I hope she takes a few Oscars.
I highly recommend this movie and give it a solid thumbs up . If you haven't seen it I hope you do. If you have seen it do not put any spoilers in the comments. Thank you.
Thanks for reading. The picture is the theater we went to.

Kind of sad but I have a feeling Dory wont remember all the adventures she will experience in this movie.

I really enjoyed the movie and I have to say that I had a good laugh from the start to the end. It was really hilarious watching the various characters like the beluga, seals, octopus and yes, the bird which was really really funny.
It is a very entertaining and enjoyable movie indeed, so I would recommend to anyone who wants to watch it.

@Jessicalynnt My son went to see it again today with a friend from his work. This time he managed to stay awake through the whole thing. He fell asleep when we went - the cold theater knocked him out. He came home really hyped about it. I know you'll love it too.

I remember @EddieHands (Wise Wizard) watching this movie. He also enjoyed it together with his Mom. It must have been a good one.
