Have fun either way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-women#post-2907302 Tue, 31 Dec 2019 09:23:30 +0000 DesertDreams88 2907302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: yes I know the story. It's up to the other moms. Thanks for the concern though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-women#post-2907298 Tue, 31 Dec 2019 08:44:11 +0000 Foodnerd81 2907298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: I don’t think my 6 year oldcould have sat through it, or handled the sadder parts. She’s really sensitive but you know the story, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-women#post-2907297 Tue, 31 Dec 2019 08:43:17 +0000 Foodnerd81 2907297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw it last week and really liked it. The part that really got me was the moms reaction to Beth- I never considered that from a mother’s perspective (since I was a tween probably the last time I watched the old movie) and it hit me really hard. The mom was the real heroine of the movie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-women#post-2907284 Tue, 31 Dec 2019 00:18:27 +0000 DesertDreams88 2907284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm seeing it with 3 friends on Friday and maybe their 5-6 yr old girls! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-women#post-2907261 Mon, 30 Dec 2019 20:48:29 +0000 winter_wonder 2907261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww! Haven't seen it, but I want to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-women#post-2907247 Mon, 30 Dec 2019 18:08:06 +0000 petitenoisette 2907247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone else see it over the holidays? Just saw with my DH today and loved it! I cried so many times like honestly mostly because I just thought the movie was so perfect and beautiful. I can’t wait to watch it with my two girls some day :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/muppet-treasure-island#post-2888357 Thu, 20 Jun 2019 21:31:06 +0000 PinkElephant 2888357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally loathe the muppets, but wouldn’t be at all upset if my seven year old saw a movie at a party - I just don’t find them funny/cute (if i am the one watching) for some reason.. If you know you have any potentially fussy parents in the crowd, maybe announce the movie choice on the invitation so you can iron out any concerns beforehand. We recently had a faux-sleepover for my daughter’s seventh birthday and I expected questions about what movie we’d be watching (the version of 101 Dalmatians with real people), but no one asked me. </p> <p>FWIW, we didn’t make it through even half the movie - once their popcorn was gone, the girls were up and moving around and making up games, so don’t stress too much about the movie - it may not get watched anyway! 😋 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/muppet-treasure-island#post-2888351 Thu, 20 Jun 2019 21:14:07 +0000 Petitduck 2888351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also love the movie!! Haven’t watched it in a while, but I think it’s fine for a 7 year old kid. It’s pretty slapstick for fighting and just silly. All the marvel type movies and stuff are much more intense and little kids are watching those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/muppet-treasure-island#post-2888337 Thu, 20 Jun 2019 18:43:10 +0000 Ms.Mermaid 2888337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I love Muppet Treasure Island. It’s so good. The first big scene involves a death but it’s not too gory. There is a fight scene that involves some guns/violence but I think it’s okay for 7 year olds? I would maybe watch it yourself first (if only because then you can sing along!) just to be sure. But I don’t think there is any serious gore or other deaths. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/muppet-treasure-island#post-2888334 Thu, 20 Jun 2019 18:21:18 +0000 kce56 2888334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son wants to have a movie party for his 7th birthday. He wants to show Muppets Treasure Island which he watched at my parents’ house a few months ago. I haven’t seen it (more of a Muppets Take Manhattan fan myself ;)). For those who have, would you be okay with your similarly aged kid watching it? Just want to make sure I’m not traumatizing anyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859978 Tue, 04 Dec 2018 10:46:49 +0000 irene 2859978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@foodiebee: LOL. Oops now I see @Mrs. Pajamas: 's comments! Last night I even sat through the first 2 minutes of that One Last Shot movie, I was like, wait, these people on hellobee actually sat through this whole thing?! And maybe these guys donate sperms to someone who wanted to have a child? HAHAHHAA!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859914 Tue, 04 Dec 2018 08:37:21 +0000 foodiebee 2859914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: LOL! Mrs. Pajamas pointed it out, but maybe after you'd seen the previous posts. I didn't blink an eye when I read One Last Shot, so it cracks me up that it's such a different movie. :silly: Oops!</p> <p>@yellowbeach: YES the RE in Vegas Baby was super creepy!</p> <p>@Amorini: This is exactly how I survived IVF!! I'd never watched those shows before and suddenly was like, "I need to watch something that's going to make me feel like I have my life together." XD </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859897 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 23:25:37 +0000 irene 2859897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG. You guys. "One Last Shot" on Netflix is a completely different movie than "One MORE Shot", which IS about infertility! I looked for "One Last Shot" on Netflix, the whole thing was black and white, about two guys who were drunks and were on drugs and lived in their cars and I was trying to see how this is related to infertility. Was it two dudes who wanted to have a surrogate? Neither of them were fit to be a father. I even skimmed forward and can not see anywhere that it was remotely related to baby or infertility issues. Than I saw @yellowbeach: saying "One More Shot" and looked for it, and it was more like it. </p> <p>Gosh! And none of you say anything and kept saying One Last Shot! This is cracking me up. I will watch One MORE Shot later :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859894 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 22:05:47 +0000 yellowbeach 2859894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>🎲 Vegas Baby: I liked how they showed some of the scientific behind the scenes stuff, but man that RE creeped me out.</p> <p>Private Life: was what it was - actors, so less real feeling, but definitely worth the watch. </p> <p>💉 One More Shot: really enjoyed this and related to the couple. I honestly thought they were going to come up empty handed in the end. Won’t say more for risk if a spoiler. </p> <p>Between these three and This Is Us this season, I’m just glad we are becoming part of the cultural conversation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859865 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 20:06:33 +0000 Amorini 2859865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven’t watched Vegas Baby yet, but I have seen the other two. I saw the Vegas Baby trailer and thought it would be frustrating to watch. Can anyone say more?</p> <p>One More Shot was great. I cried, I related, it was cathartic. Overall, a good flick.</p> <p>Private Life still has me thinking. It was darkly funny, not relatable exactly, but still cathartic because it has made me reflect on the ways that IF is a.)isolating and b.) hard on marriages. Two plus years after IVF, I am still dealing with the latter. So, final analysis, worth watching when you can deal.</p> <p>As a total aside, when I was going through IVF, I immersed myself entirely in the Bachelor and Bachelorette. Someone else’s drama that had nothing to do with mine!!!! Before and after, I have no mental space for those shows but it was a good escape at that time. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859804 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 14:50:22 +0000 foodiebee 2859804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We watched all three. One More Shot was our favorite. I agree with Cam that Private Life was not totally uplifting, but definitely real. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859788 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 13:47:08 +0000 Petitduck 2859788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pajamas: I’m glad you clarified because I wanted to watch it and was disappointed when I couldn’t find it on Netflix...and was also confused by the description of the other movie. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859787 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 13:16:28 +0000 Mrs. Pajamas 2859787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbeach: @Sams Mom: Haha it's called "One MORE shot" I just looked it up to add to my watchlist and was super confused for the description of the movie, "One LAST Shot": 2 friends head out to vegas for a last chance to party....</p> <p>Thanks for this list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859626 Sun, 02 Dec 2018 10:02:43 +0000 cam 2859626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We watched Private Life last week. I thought it did a pretty good job with some of the feelings around fertility treatments and it also had some funny moments, (and I love Kathryn Hahn) but it's not a completely uplifting tale so I'm glad I watched it after we had success and not during I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859610 Sun, 02 Dec 2018 08:25:47 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2859610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: I’ll PM you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859585 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 21:09:36 +0000 Sams Mom 2859585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: awesome! You're the first person I've come across with a means of communication that has done this. I'll only all 1 for now, is there an online community or Facebook group that I could join to learn from? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859584 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 21:06:13 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2859584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: we are going to transfer the last embryo we have frozen in March. It is full genetic sibling. We have an open relationship with our donors and it’s really special. If you ever have any questions I’m happy to talk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859582 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 20:46:00 +0000 Sams Mom 2859582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: that's why that one was recommended to me. I saw a special on embryo adoption years ago, it always stuck in my head, and now we're looking into it 6-12 months from now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859581 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 20:40:56 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2859581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is donor embryo conceived, so I love One Last Shot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859579 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 19:53:22 +0000 Sams Mom 2859579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend has recommended One Last Shot, but I haven't found the time to watch it (and actually hear it without toddler noise) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859572 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 17:10:40 +0000 yellowbeach 2859572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m curious if anyone has watched any of the three movies I’ve found on Netflix that cover IVF:<br /> 1) Vegas Baby<br /> 2) One Last Shot<br /> 3) Private Life</p> <p>I learned of them from one of my IVF Facebook groups. I think #2 was my favorite. Any other thoughts or votes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/childs-first-movie#post-2828135 Wed, 13 Jun 2018 10:27:57 +0000 buttermilk 2828135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At home - Secret Life of Pets. </p> <p>We haven’t taken her to a theater yet but she loves movies and I don’t think it would be a problem to sit through one. She is 2.5. </p> <p>We love watching movies together as a family! She’s seen the entire Harry Potter series lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/childs-first-movie#post-2827894 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 11:43:17 +0000 Hypatia 2827894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Last Unicorn. She still loves it. </p> <p>She's 4.5 and hasn't been to the movie theater. I doubt she'll go for another few years. There honestly aren't many modern movies that I feel like exposing her to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/childs-first-movie#post-2827829 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 08:28:57 +0000 snowjewelz 2827829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: K likes the crab, haha. But she gets scared even of the part where she goes into the cave in the beginning... </p> <p>I just watched Coco myself last night, SO cute! I don't know how mine would react to the skeletons tho, and talking about poisoning people! </p>
