You might find it odd to recommend this movie to an adult group, but this is an exception - I loved this movie! Everyone who has ever had a kid that played with legos can relate. The graphics of all the characters and scenery being made from legos is incredible! But the story is even better. Answering the question "Is it better to follow the instructions to every detail or build whatever incredible vehicle/building/world you can imagine?" with great finesse, this movie is both entertaining and thoughtful. Also full of movie references that keep the adults laughing out loud.
This is a quirky little science fiction/aging parent movie that was funny and sweet. I liked it.
Not an Oscar contender, but so enjoyable.

Trailers and Reviews An ex-policeman-turned-street-smart pimp attempts to capture the elusive serial killer who has been preying on his girls in this stylish South Koran thriller from first-time feature filmmaker Na Hong-jin. Jung-ho is a former cop who now operates on the other side of the law. When his girls start disappearing without clearing their debts, Jung-ho rightly begins to suspect foul play. Shortly thereafter, Jung-ho receives a call for a girl and dispatches Mi-jin -- recognizing all too late that his latest customer's telephone number exactly matches that of the man who hired the last prostitute that went missing. His detective's instincts now kicking into full gear, Jung-ho races desperately through the streets in search of Mi-jin. After denting a car in a dark ally, the eagle-eyed pimp notices that the driver of the car he collided with is wearing a blood-spattered shirt. Jung-ho gives chase, eventually catching the man and discovering that his name is Young-min. Later, at the police station, Young-min admits that he is indeed the killer that police have been searching for, and that Mi-jin is quite possibly still alive. Though the police aren't convinced that there is any hope for Mi-jin, given the number of corpses popping up around town as of late, Jung-ho believes that Young-min is telling the truth. The law states that the police can only hold the suspected serial killer for 12 hours, but is that enough time for Jung-ho to rescue Mi-jin and prove Young-min's guilt? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Check here for synopsis, trailers, actors and more:
