I would hate to be sitting anywhere near (say within 3 theaters) of this family at the movies, but I this makes me laugh out loud. The actions/reactions of all of them are priceless.

You can dress them up, but you can’t take them out to the movies. I don’t know these people.

Perhaps her hands were cold. Or she just liked the feel of the fuzzy mitteness against her cheek as she ate the popcorn.

This one is great! Their conversation has to be better than that movie. The guy should have stayed – I’m sure it only gets better.

Funny in fiction does not translate into even tolerable in real life. I mean could you put up with Magnum for a room mate or want to live next door to Rockford.

Sort of like those Hallmark holiday movies where all the teenage girls are sullen, boy-crazy spoiled brats who obsess over their phones and makeup.
