My Review
If your family enjoyed watching the first Monster Family movie, then you're in for a treat with this sequel. My family and I enjoyed visiting with the Wishbone transformed into spooky creatures again but with a twist this time. It's not just about the family learning to get along, but also helping others.
And for us that was the real charm of Monster Family 2, the lesson of helping others, whether it's a family member or new friend. I don't want to give it all away, by this is a great lesson for families to be reminded of by the end of the movie.
Besides the "being helpful and supportive" lesson, Monster Family 2 also has other reasons families will enjoy watching it.
So, I'm sharing 3 reasons you should watch Monster Family 2: Nobody's Perfect!
3 Reasons to Watch Monster Family 2
The Wishbone Family
It's nice to visit with the Wishbone family again. While lots have changed since the first movie, the family still has some quirks to figure out and it's fun to watch them fuss with each other.
The teen daughter trying to find herself, the middle school son not fitting in with friends and parents just trying to love and support their kids. The personal issues facing each character will be relatable to families watching the film.
Moments of Humor
While the main story is about the Wishbone family trying to save Monster being kidnapped by a mysterious monster hunter, the whole film isn't just scary doom. The film gives moments of fun an humor for families to share a giggle and enjoy a silly moment. There's a scene where a dance spell back fires that had me and my son laughing out loud.
Tech Savvy Female Villain
This might not be a big deal for some, but I loved seeing a young girl knowing how to use technology, and fight against larger "foes" while being smart and witty. While she is a villain in the movie, there was no doubt that she amazing and can hold her own again the Monster Family and all the Monster's she was sent to kidnap.
Little girls are smart, capable and can be the one to save the "boy". It's nice to see more of that in movies.

Did you know that picking the right pillow can help lead to better sleep? This was the amazing data discovered from a recent study done by SleepScore Labs in partnership with Mattress Firm's pillow fitting process.
Note: This posted was written in partnership with SleepScore. However, any personal views expressed are always 100% my own
The study analyzed more than 750 total nights of objective and self-reported sleep data.
The study measured sleep before and after customers participated in Mattress Firm's in-store pillow fitting process and found that participants slept 487 more minutes per month on average (or 8.1 hours) when using the new, fitted pillow compared to when using their original pillow.
Data was collected objectively using SleepScore Max, a non-contact monitor that unobtrusively and objectively measures sleep at home. Participants also completed daily questionnaires about their sleep.
The most significant learning from this research is that the study found that fitting a pillow to participants based on their unique sleeping habits boosts sleep quality and duration.
Do you know which pillow height is best for you? It depends on how you sleep!
When compared to their sleep on the pillow they were using previously, participants who experienced in-store pillow fitting spent more time in bed, slept longer, and spent 10% more time in deep sleep, the stage of sleep that supports immune system functioning and metabolism, helps clear toxins from the brain, and repairs tissue damage.
That's exciting news based on finding the right pillow for sleep!
Colin Lawlor CEO, SleepScore Labs, shared "There are hundreds of thousands of products and services which promise to improve sleep, but very few with any real science or data behind them. This study shows that sleep expertise and data combine to help people find the right pillow for them and that can make a significant difference to sleep quality"
Mattress Firm's in-store pillow fitting process is designed to promote better sleep quality by considering each customers' unique body and sleeping position to match them with a pillow that best fits their body type and sleep preferences.
In tandem with SleepScore's objective data, participants' questionnaire data showed that those sleeping with a new, fitted pillow reported better overall sleep quality (27% increase), improved ability to sleep through the night (36% increase), and felt more well-rested in the mornings (24% increase) compared to when using their original pillow.
All of that sounds like great news to me. I confess I do have a preference for pillow types and noticed I sleep better with a certain type of pillow. Seems I'm not the only one.
