Family Movie Club Subscription Box Review + Coupon- Jun 2016

I love the Goonies and doing things with my family. But, in a time where people more often rely on digital content and $2 Redbox movies, I can’t see this as a sustainable business. Plus, it is far too expensive for what you receive. It’s like someone went through an old Blockbuster and grabbed a couple of items to toss in the box from the checkout area. Now, sending you a free movie download from a service, and a box of themed stuff would be way better!

I personally didn’t like the Goonies movie. I would’ve hated this box. I am super fussy about what my kids watch and I’m often shocked about the content even of cartoons.

The Goodies is a movie favorite in our house and I think the curation is cute, too bad the price point is way off!

Yeah this is a cool idea but maybe they should lower their prices a little bit it was definitely not worth that much. Still a cute idea though. You could build your own for cheaper

This is actually a super cute idea… For me to make my own suprise family movie night box! Sorry, I’d love to just get one in the mail but the low value is a huge miss to me. My four kids would just be all sad to have to split one tiny candy bar haha. Time to hit up Wal mart and the dollar store ?

Love the idea and the execution. Even the candy was themed to go with the movie – gold doubloons and ROCKY…ROAD…??!! (if you’ve seen the movie hopefully you heard Sloth saying that). I agree that ratings are subjective. I believe my 10 year old has seen this, however, he sees a LOT of movies at Grandpa’s house that he would never be allowed to watch at home and then I end up answering some mighty uncomfortable questions later (Mom, what does –insert totally inappropriate slang here– mean?). I do agree with the consensus that this is WAY overpriced for what you get.

Parental ratings have changed a lot over the years and are fairly inconsistent/subjective. I was very surprised when I watched “The Graduate” for a film class and realized that film is rated PG, despite the subject matter and nudity.

This does seem like a very low value box – specially if you don’t like the movie!

Personally, I think Goonies is a great movie but it’s a little too grown-up for an 8 yo. I took my kids to see it when they were around that age, and they were bored.

In any case, PG means “parental guidance”, which means that if you’re the sort of parent who is skittish about what your kids can watch, you should check a parents guide before letting your kids see it. For example, you could go here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089218/parentalguide

For movies without any questionable content, stick to G.

Agree I love the idea of the box, but last Christmas my bf and I got his sister’s family a “movie box” we got 3 movies, bag of popcorn, boxes of candy and bottles of coke for less than $15 at Target. I love Target around the holidays! lol

How fun!! But I agree, too pricey for what you get. They could really improve on this idea without much effort or added cost, I think. I would love to see a “date night” home movie night box, or a “girls night” theme, things like that. Maybe provide options to stream a movie, or order a PPV for those that prefer that to DVDs, or at least include a special edition or something….

I don’t see the value in this box.

Family movie night, yes absolutely – My daughter & I have started having these types of nights – but when I saw one package of microwave popcorn, and dollar store popcorn bags, for 25 bucks + shipping, they’ve got to do better than that.

Also, the accuracy of any movie ratings are very subjective to the viewer. Everyone knew that one kid who could watch the Exorcists and Scarface – but our parents looked at us like we had two heads when asked if we could see them.

Anyway, I do like the idea of this box, but the value and themed items included, even the snack items should be raised slightly to justify the price of the subscription.

I love Goonies but that’s too expensive for what you get. Great idea – not a great price point.
