My husband and I are raising our daughters right – they are HUGE Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans. They are only 3 and 4 but boy do they love these turtles. They love the animated shows of course, but they even enjoy the “real people” versions of the movies (as they call them). My oldest is probably the biggest TMNT fan there is – she has pink TMNT sheets, multiple TMNT clothes including shirts, dresses, and socks, and more TMNT toys than I can count. She just sent out invitations to her 5th birthday party later this month and what theme did she choose? Ninja Turtles! She has been dying to see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows and my husband and I decided that we will take her this weekend – yes, opening weekend is finally here! I grew up on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and so did my husband.

Heroes in a halfshell – they are a favorite of ours! We have been counting the days for Out of the Shadows to hit theaters since it was announced. I cannot believe the day is finally here. We have had tickets to see the movie at our local theater for a while now. We will be there tomorrow morning – will you be seeing it this weekend? It looks like such a fun movie – filled with action and humor. My husband’s favorite character is Casey Jones, so he is thrilled to see him join the cast. My (almost) 5 year old loves when Raph hits the airplane window and his tongue is hanging out – she reinacts that scene from the trailer all of the time. How could you not want to see the movie after these clips?
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows in theaters today!
Synopsis
Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo, and Raphael return to theaters this summer to battle bigger, badder villains, alongside April O’Neil (Megan Fox), Vern Fenwick (Will Arnett), and a newcomer: the hockey-masked vigilante Casey Jones (Stephen Amell). After supervillain Shredder (Brian Tee) escapes custody, he joins forces with mad scientist Baxter Stockman (Tyler Perry) and two dimwitted henchmen, Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams) and Rocksteady (WWE Superstar Stephen “Sheamus” Farrelly), to unleash a diabolical plan to take over the world. As the Turtles prepare to take on Shredder and his new crew, they find themselves facing an even greater evil with similar intentions: the notorious Krang.
