should I attempt it?

It is thunder storming here something awful.  They are definitely bowling in heaven.  I don't want to be stuck in the house with Quint all day but any indoor activity is going to be jammed with kids today.  What do you think of me taking him to see a kid's movie?  Cars 2 is playing at 1:35.  

Is three old enough to see a movie in the theatres?

I have taken a three yr old before and it was fine. Just make sure he has eaten, isn't tired, and goes to the bathroom before going in. It can be a special treat for him

It's a *kids* movie in the middle of the day, on a weekday. There will only be three year olds there. Knock yourselves out.

I saw that movie during the summer with my 2.5 year old nephew.  3 is definitely doable.  Also, its been out for a while so it will probably be dead in the theater...especially since a lot of schools just went back in session.

I'd brave it.  The movie is kind of long though (like the length of a regular movie, not only 1 hr like they do for a lot of kids ones).  I think Smurfs is shorter and, in my expert opinion, a better movie but you should be fine at Cars 2.

Yup, this.  Do it!  Hope you all have fun!

Was smurfs good? I was mildly tempted to see it but H wanted to see Cars 2..I never saw Cars 1.

I haven't seen the Smurfs, but Cars 2 was horrible.  Maybe it's because I had certain expectations because the first one was so good, but thumbs down from me.

Finn saw several movies this summer, Cars 2 included, and he is just a couple months older than Q. He will be fine. We took Lila with us to them as well. And we liked Cars 2, although I know lots of people didn't.

James has been going to movies since 18 months old. You will be fine. You can expect that he will get up and walk around, but as far as I know this is normal, just remind him to be quiet for the other patrons.

Yes, I thought Smurfs was adorable!

Go!

M loved Cars 2. We didn't attempt a theater though and took him to the drive-in. He sat still the entire film.

Definitely. Cars 2 is a little violent in case you haven't heard that yet (there is shooting, the cars bleed motor oil and I think some die - DH took him so it's second hand information).

If the Winnie the Pooh movie is still out that would be a good first movie, I think. It's definitely shorter than a full length (around an hour) but Bruce loved it as much as Cars 2 and Toy Story 3.

So I tried it and it wasn't a hit.  He lasted about an hour and in that hour, we went pee three times

I'm sorry that it didn't work out! Hopefully better next time..
