Not so wild

Took the girls to see The Wild. My expectations were low based on some things I had heard about it, but I hoped to be pleasantly surprised. While the girls were entertained, it didn't really turn my opinion of it around. It wasn't quite terrible, but it squandered some potential, for a Disney movie. I did get a few laughs in, and there were some big-ish names doing the voice-overs, but mostly I thought it was strange. At times I seriously wondered what they were smoking when they wrote that movie.

The most humorous moment was not even in the movie per se, but was a question of Shelby's. There were dung beetles in the movie and at one point Shelby asked what they were pushing around. Is it mud? She asked. I didn't elaborate, but then Darby chimed-in. Poop-balls, she said. Oy.
