This has led to Natalie growing up with a rather pessimistic attitude that no good things will happen to her, only bad. But things change when she knocks herself unconscious following an altercation with a mugger…

In growing communities like Waxahachie, TX – where families value space and connection, this situation has become familiar.

Since then The Lego Movie and Lego Batman have set the bar rather high for films in the franchise, and The Lego Movie Part2 manages to meet those expectations rather well. (Lego Ninjago, not so much) It has humor and action as well as some bright, catchy tunes although none that are all that memorable (despite one being called “The Catchy Song” with a line saying “this song is gonna get stuck inside your head”). Stephanie Beatriz as General Mayhem and Tiffany Haddish…
