The Lego Movie (2014)

Director: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller
Starring: Chris Pratt, Will Farrell, Elizabeth Banks

Synopsis:
An ordinary, by-the-instructions construction worker stumbles onto the legendary Piece of Resistance, the one thing capable of stopping the plans of the diabolical Lord Business to end the world. He has to prove himself worthy of the title of the Chosen, but first he needs to have an original thought to bounce around in his empty yellow plastic head.

Impressions:
I'm going to lead with three words: "Everything is awesome!" I could end the review right there. This is an immensely fun movie, especially for a major Lego enthusiast like myself. The movie is smart, funny, and subversive with a lot more depth than you would expect from a movie about everyone's favorite highly sophisticated interlocking brick system. If you haven't had some of the major jokes spoiled for you, you're in for a real treat.

This is a fun movie that's highly watchable and rewatchable. I highly recommend multiple viewings, because there's a lot going on for you to catch. Run, don't walk to see it and remember: Everything is awesome.
