The Lego Movie is stupid fun to watch, hilarious in all the right ways and one of the most original animated blockbusters anyone has constructed in quite some time.

Basically, they got you to pay money to watch a one hundred minute commercial. They got you to do it, and like it.

Clearly having fun with the low expectations garnered by the idea of a full-length film devoted to schilling for a toy, the film's directors have nonetheless created a solidly enjoyable and often hilarious 100 minutes of entertainment.

In the hands of 21 Jump Street directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller the film is an irreverent joy, simultaneously cashing in on the youthful nostalgia for toys and a laugh a second gag rate that feels like an explosion at a pop-culture factory.
