So with much huffing and puffing I was dragged to see The Tooth Fairy yesterday. No amount of subtle leading wS going to get me to avatar instead. "avatar is cooler...wouldn't you rather see avatar...avatar is on at IMAX...).
Anyhoo. All pain aside and resigned at last to seeing it (not without enlisting help from the ticket seller to no avail), I consoled myself with the prospect of a quick sushi lunch in the mandarin centre food court before the movie. I wasn't expecting much and was surprised when there was a line to get in!
This was the best sushi train style joint I've ever been to. There was a team of 4 or 5 chefs whipping out plate after plate of warm fresh delicious and interesting sushi. As fast as the plates hit the conveyor a bench full of hungry customers (many Japanese) whipped them off. Magnificent delicate sashimi. Seared salmon sushi with wasabi flying fish roe, plump soft California rolls that you can actually fit in your mouth!
In our 15 minute feeding frenzy, me and three kids scoffed off 17 plates. Beastie even licked the flying fish roe off hers!
All fed and watered and paid and just in time to make the movie. (most dissappintes about missing the ads but it was worth it.
The Tooth Fairy was fun!! It wasn't a kids movie with undercurrents of adult humour, it was just a nice movie with a few funny one liners and some good reparties and ( spoiler) a happy ending (yet to see an American kids movie without that! One of The actors was out of The Office and there is a bit of dry humour that was enjoyable without being cheesy or tacky.
On the whole though, it was slightly cheesy but that worked for le yesterday
