Moonrise Kingdom

I enjoyed the movie more than a little bit ,enough to put it on my list of movies I need to add to my collection. Partially I think it was because I went into the movie with low expectations but honestly I thought the movie was very charming. It was charming because the children were acting like adults and that made me laugh quite a bit at the seriousness of the scenes and yet the lack of understanding. I also like how the director embraced this fact by not caring if he went a bit overboard with the effects and I think he knew it would come off a bit cheesy. Overall I really enjoyed it and the thing that I was taken back by after watching it was that it was quite similar to the movies I watched as a kid, with kids being smarter than the adults and outsmarting them in all different ways. My rating of the movie would have to be at 3 and a half stars because I liked it a lot but its not something I'd want to watch frequently because its more of a diamond in the rough, while the rough it the genre that this film would be in.
