'Wreck-It Ralph' Opens to Positive Reviews

New Disney hit opens this weekend in local theaters.

"Wreck-It Ralph" opened this weekend in area theaters. The new Disney 3-D movie (which you can also view in a traditional 2-D, as well) is opening to very positive movie reviews. The LA Times reviews say "Wreck-It Ralph" "scores big" and that it is "not just the joystick junkie" that will enjoy the flick. The Wall Street Journal is saying the movie is a "clever story and heartfelt characters that should appeal to kids and their parents" in its latest reviews. The movie features a character that longs to be in a new video game, tired of always being the "villain" in his own.
