We are stoked to be able to watch Jumanji 2 on the day that the little sister turns 5! Truth be told, I've been looking to this sequel for long because of how I fell in love with the first movie - starring one of my all-time favourite actors Robin Williams - back in 1995. I loved it so much that I watched it a few times and even got the kids to watch it with me recently too!
While this second movie (starring Dwayne Johnson, Karen Gillman, Kevin Hart and Jack Black) is quite different from the first and the plot is quite predictable, we still enjoyed the thrill, action and humour that kept us entertained throughout.
The best part was we were at the newly opened GV Paya Lebar, which sits on the third level of SingPost Centre and boasts a total of 756 seats, and they have rolled out a new initiative called Family Friendly Screenings. In order to create a child-friendly environment and help people like you and me be able to bring our kids to the cinema without constantly worrying if we are disturbing other patrons, these special screenings are held exclusively at GV Paya Lebar every Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday afternoons (1 screening per day).
It was a relief to see that most of the other patrons had young kids with them too and if one of the little ones started acting up or shouting too loudly, we totally understood each other. We were lucky tonight because the toddler slept nearly throughout (I thought that the noise wasn't too loud and the lights were dimmed just right) so this Mama got to enjoy most of the show while munching on the goodies we got from the Grab & Gold cafe right outside (Guess what? They have exclusive items on their menu like beef chilli cheese fries and banana fritters!)
We definitely hope to continue watching more movies as a family! Thanks to @gvmovieclub for having us and for coming up with this awesome initiative.
