Last Saturday we spent the day as a family of three, just Mom, Dad and Kid. We ate lunch at the brand new Mimis Cafe in Round Rock near the Premium Outlets Mall. The food was very good, and I especially enjoyed the Strawberry Lemonade. Since lunch went longer than we had planned we missed the 2:40PM showing of Madagascar 2 that we were aiming for. Since the temp was hovering around 50 degrees and we had left the house wearing only short sleeve shirts, window shopping the Outlets was out of the question.
We opted for the 3:30PM showing and sat in the "warm" theater and "enjoyed" the on screen infotainment/ads for half an hour. I laughed more at this movie than I did it's predecessor, but I was shocked at how much they borrowed from Disney's Lion King , including a version of Uncle Scar sporting a pompadour haircut. Part 3 of the Madagascar saga was green lit before Madagascar 2 even premiered, and opening weekend grossed more than the entire theatrical release of the first film in the series. I also heard that the penguins will soon have their own TV show.
All that aside, I am just pleased that David Schwimmer can still get work.
