I blogged earlier this week that we were invited to a sneak preview of Rio the movie on Saturday this past week, and the whole ordeal that took place.

Well, I am thrilled to have the chance to give away a wonderful prize pack in celebration of the movie opening up this weekend, on April 15th!

  

This movie literally screams warm, tropical sunshine!  I enjoyed every moment I spent watching it on the big screen.  From the very first opening scene, it was vibrant, colorful, and made me feel like dancing!  I really enjoyed the music throughout the movie and since I am HUGE fan of George Lopez, I loved all the comedy.

My kids were also captivated by the colorful, funny scenes throughout and were even able to keep on their 3D glasses for the entire duration of the movie, which is a huge compliment to how well it held their attention!  Those things are usually off and on throughout a movie!

The story presented in the movie is one about friendship and believing in yourself.  I was happy that after the movie, on the drive back home, I was able to have a conversation with my kids about the characters in the movie and how their problems and solutions can be applied to our own lives.  I liked the overall message that the movie gave and thought it was fun and lighthearted at the same time.

This is a definite must-see this spring with your kids!  And, if you want to watch the first 2 minutes of the movie, check it out right here:
