Went on opening day with my family. We couldn't wait to see it I have a 7yr old son an 3yr old daughter. They both loved it. My daughter's first movie in theaters an it kept her attention the whole time as well as keeping her engaged in the film. Girl was cracking up just like we were. We absolutely LOVED IT! We have waited years for this and we finally got it. It left us wanted more. If you stayed until after the credits there is a sweet surprise. The acting, music, storyline, nostalgia of the game coming to animation was so brilliant how they put it all together. Brought back memories. If you are a Mario Fan this is a definitely must see movie. Budget was $100 mil , on opening weekend, they surpassed an made $485milli. They should be proud of themselves. I'm sure it was hard work an dedication as well as being a fan!
