Alien at the Movies

 Super Mario Bros. Movie

Nintendo’s Italian plumber siblings have come to the big screen. Gamer fans will have a blast as Mario & Luigi try to save Brooklyn, but They end up passing through a magic portal with Mario in the Mushroom Kingdom where he meets Toad, Princess Peach, & Donkey Kong. Meanwhile, Luigi finds himself captured in Bowser’s Darkland. Fans will feel right at home watching Mario vs. Donkey Kong, kart racing, rescuing Peach & Luigi, power bricks & golden coins, and battling Bowser. I’m not a gamer & probably didn’t recognize half of references. But I️ had fun, so check it out for yourself. Look for a mid credit serenade & a post credit Easter egg. Will there be a sequel?

Alien gives it 3 “pet turtle” stars out of 4.
