Joe Mauer Reviews Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Hey, Joe Mauer from the Twins here.  The TwinkieTown guys asked me to review the new Star Wars movie for the website, and I'm here to tell you, it's a home run lol.  That's just some baseball humor for you guys.

But I really did like it.

I liked the Star Wars movies a lot when I was growing up, but I have to say I was a little nervous for this new one.  It was rated PG-13, which my mom says means "Pretty Gross 13."  I looked that up on the internet and it says mom's wrong, but I guess there's two sides to every story.

So I got my small popcorn and my small drink (no butter and no ice, what do I look like a reliever lol) and got settled into my seat at the movie theater.  The previews looked pretty neat, but there wasn't a commercial for a new Minions movie, so that was disappointing.  Those little guys are so funny, but you can tell they have good hearts, and that's what really matters.

Jesse said that I shouldn't post anything that spoils the movie for folks who haven't seen it yet, so I'll just say that there were a lotta good parts, and Han Solo and Chewie were in it and it was awesome seeing them in the Millennium Falcon.  Anything else beyond that is a secret between me, myself, and I, buster. (Not Buster Olney haha.  That tiny fella wasn't there anywho.)

So would I recommend it?  You bet.  But just a word of warning: There are some adult words and situations, so don't repeat them or you might catch some heck from mom.
