I LOVE CLUTCH POWERS!!!

I've watched this movie so many times since it came out in 2010. I've never been so hooked on a film!!! It's an absolute cinematic masterpiece. My kids and hubby also enjoy sitting with me to watch the adventures of Clutch powers countless sleepless nights in a row. This movie has quite the CLUTCH on me LOL!! Clutch is such a funny hunky character. I just can't get enough of his smolder. It's like his manly lego hand reached out from the screen and straight into this momma's heart!!!! LOL I can't wait to see what else clutch has in store for us in hopefully the nearby future. I am just OBSESSED with this breathtaking film. Keep it up, Clutch lovers!!! this fandom will never die LOL!!!!

What's the Story?

Clutch Powers (voiced by Ryan McPartlin) is just your above-average LEGO hero. Everyone in the LEGO universe knows his reputation as a master LEGO builder and adventurer. When his boss, Kjell Playwell (Paul Michael Glaser) teams him up with a German engineer named Bernie, an adventure specialist named Peg, and a general rough guy named Brick, Clutch's loner streak comes to an abrupt halt. The team is sent to a Space Police prison planet where a distress signal has been picked up. They are led to the medieval world of Ashlar, where Mallock the Malign -- a wizard who is bent on destroying all forces for good -- resides. The team is quickly charged with finding the resident prince, who alone can defeat the wizard. But "team" is a concept that alludes these four specialists, and their in-fighting just might distract them from getting the job done.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (7 ):
Kids say (13 ):

This charming adventure DVD will certainly be a hit with LEGO fans. It has humor, a good story-line, defined characters, and a very uniquely LEGO world-view. Of course, it's also a product send-up; Each scene features cool new LEGO buildings and vehicles. But considering that the product send-up is a genre of its own these days (hello, Transformers?) the LEGO franchise does it with aplomb.

Talking with kids about watching versus buying might temper some of the consumer frenzy that this movie will inspire. But for what it's worth, the movie contains the creative spark that LEGO fans deserve. It's built on the fact that building is what the LEGO empire is all about. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • Families can talk about clever consumer branding. Here is a movie based on a product (like the long-running Barbie DVD series). Does this DVD make you want to play with or buy LEGOs?

  • Kids can also talk about teamwork. How did it save the day? When can going it alone be a good thing? When can it be bad?
