Maleficent: Mistress of Evil Review (a Mom's opinion)

WELL, WELL. Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is in theaters today. And the questions is, will you be taking the family to watch it? I got a chance to see an early screening with my oldest son to share our spoiler-free thoughts with you.

This visually stunning film expands the Maleficent-universe in a fresh and original way with Angelina Jolie reprising her role. It takes place 5 years after the events of the first film, Maleficent. Aurora (Fanning) is now Queen of the Moors, the magical lands where the fairies and woodland creatures live. When asked for her hand in marriage, things slowly start to take a turn and the battle between two worlds begin. 

Think of it as a fairytale with a modern twist and strong female leads, which I loved about the film. Family is the core theme with challenges that Maleficent and Aurora face in their relationship. In my opinion, I thought this movie was better than the first.

Is it Good for Kids? 

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is rated PG. There's a lot of action and references to death, so it may be a little too much for sensitive and younger viewers. My 9 year-old son, Caiden loved all the action sequences and his favorite character…Diaval (Riley), who brought humor and the was voice of reason in the film. 

There are also metaphors in the film with messages that relate to issues that's going on in today's world. And after the movie, it became a great conversation topic with Caiden during our ride home. 

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil opens in theaters October 18th (today). The film stars Angelina Jolie (“Maleficent”), Michelle Pfeiffer (“Queen Ingrith”), Elle Fanning (“Princess Aurora”), Chiwetel Ejiofor (“Conall”), Sam Riley (“Diaval”), Harris Dickinson (“Prince Phillip”), and Ed Skrein (“Borra”).

I used to look at my shadow while I was running an I used to look at my shadow while I was running and think about how wide it was….but now all I can think is….YOU DID THAT.Running Diaries: 11 miles…..for the first time EVER.  If I can do 11 miles, I can do the half marathon in January.  This was the first “challenge training” I did.  I ran 3 miles the day before this and then 11 this day.  Race Weekend I’ll be doing a 10k on the Saturday and a half marathon on the Sunday.  That’s right, this almost 45 year old “not athletic” girlie is going to do it.  And I feel good about it.  It amazes me how much of this is mental at this point.  I’ve done the training.  It’s KNOWING I can do it.  And listening to my body when I need to slow down, snack, drink water.Wow.  11 miles.  I’m proud of this one. signed, your curvy running buddy

🎂…..and just like that, she’s reached the d 🎂…..and just like that, she’s reached the double digits! Happy 10th birthday to our adventure buddy, it feels like we just met her yesterday. Lydia brings joy to everyone in her life and I feel so lucky to be her mom! She had the sweetest birthday celebration with a few friends over the weekend.  They watched movies, and this adorable set up from @fireflysocal was a total hit.  I can’t recommend this local business enough, the vibes were impeccable (plus who doesn’t love letting someone else do the set up?!?)
I almost said no to Disneyland today. Between work I almost said no to Disneyland today. Between work commitments, Lydia’s birthday, general holiday busy-ness….it felt like one too many things. Hugged friends. Ate treats. Watched the most magical Disneyland tradition. And reminded myself it’s ok to enjoy the holidays for myself a bit too.Here’s to making memories for the memory makers all season long. Thank you @allisonmertzman for taking me on the best friend date to Disneyland’s Candlelight Processional!
…..a reminder that you are not: - too much - too …..a reminder that you are not:- too much- too loud- too enthusiastic For all the little girls who felt they needed to dull themselves.  To lessen their excitement.  To be a smaller version of themselves.You deserve to be the whole version of you. (and to do it dressing a way that brings you joy)
