Monsters vs Aliens movie review by Mike and Jeanne at Lets Watch Movies

Rated PG for sci-fi action, some crude humor and mild language.

Length 94 min

Staring Reese Witherspoon and Seth Rogen

For decades the government has covered up the existence of monsters.  Quietly hiding away those creatures that just don’t fit in with society norms, and allowing the population to concentrate on more important things, like paying their taxes.  Monsters vs Aliens is a new 3d animated film to kickoff a summer chock full of new films shot for specially equiped 3d theaters.  Can MvA hold its own against Pixar classics like The Incredibles or Toy Story, or will it fall short and become another Chicken Little?  Listen as Mike and Jeanned review this three dimensional sci-fi romp.

Plus whats going on at the box office, and on DVD, and of course the Movie Bits Givaway
