RYAN: The new blockbuster in town took the tops o' the box, much to nobody's surprise.

CAROLINE: But I think most people were a little disappointed in this film, as you were.

RYAN: Other reviewers agree the movie's pretty heavy for what we all either wanted or expected to be an authentic children's movie.

CAROLINE: According to numbers, the audience this weekend was 43% adults and only 27% kids.

RYAN: "Law Abiding Citizen" did okay at #2. It's really sort of a paycheck for Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler.

CAROLINE: At least it was better than those movies that come out in January and February, right?

RYAN: That's true. I kinda liked it. But I won't run out and buy the DVD.

CAROLINE: Overall the numbers are strong this weekend for the top 5 movies.

RYAN: Even "The Stepfather" did well, considering it didn't screen for critics.

CAROLINE: The weather was pretty bad in many parts of the country so it was a good weekend to catch a movie.

RYAN: It's always a good time for that.

CAROLINE: Okay cheesy.
