Teen Titans GO! To the Movies

As a comic book nerd and a Dad of kids who love the show as much as I do, I was thrilled when I found out they were making a movie. The wit, sarcasm and cameos from the DC and Marvel universe are awesome. Teen TItans Go to the movies is exactly what fans of the franchise want and need. My kids range from 6-14 and we had a great time. They laughed. I laughed. The entire theatre laughed.

I decided to go see this movie because of the humor. It looked very self-referential, and seemed to poke fun at itself. I like movies like that, and supporting films based on TV shows. I wasn't a fan of the series, though I've seen a few episodes. This was tremendously entertaining, and furiously funny! The film is a brilliant satire of superhero movies, and makes fun of everything from Marvel and Warner Bros., to DC, itself. This is a very, very funny film, and in a day when so many superhero movies are so serious, this is a great palate cleanser. Highly recommended!

So this review is from my nine-year-old son; he declared it "a must watch movie". I wouldn't know because I fell asleep half way through.

Parents know that there is nothing quite like cartoons that amuse both kids AND adults. Teen Titans absolutely qualifies in our house - plenty of satirical references, lots of laughs, and multiple parody songs. It works on TV, and it works as a movie too. I'm semi-surprised that this 90 minute episode (because that's absolutely what this was) succeeded in theaters because it feels a bit more like a TV special...but it also feels like a TV special that is truly funny. I laughed throughout - sometimes chuckles and sometimes guffaws, but I was amused the whole time. Thanks, kids!

This movie was far better than expected. Funny as all heck. Robin's final line of dialogue into the camera will stay with me forever. I'm still laughing. Go see it!!
