Emmet (Chris Pratt), an ordinary LEGO figurine who always follows the rules, is mistakenly identified as the Special -- an extraordinary being and the key to saving the world. He finds himself drafted into a fellowship of strangers who are on a mission to stop an evil tyrant's (Will Ferrell) plans to conquer the world. Unfortunately for Emmet, he is hopelessly -- and hilariously -- unprepared for such a task, but he'll give it his all nonetheless.

Hilarious and heartfelt in the right ways, The Lego Movie also successfully pokes fun at the genre cliches we're all so used to.

Rated: A-

Vanity Fair

It's one of the few movies based on a toy with no explicit story behind it. And it is, so far, the only one that's really good.

San Francisco Chronicle

The movie is a wonderful surprise, cleverly written and executed brick by brick with a visual panache.

Rated: 4/4

What really sells it is the film's surprising final act, one that pulls the rug from under our feets and becomes a beautiful tale of inspiration and creativity through the minds of innocence...

It’s to Lord and Miller’s credit that The Lego Movie rarely feels hemmed in by the limitations of its premise.

The colorful adventure (and it is colorful, in all the bright, primary hues of the toy bricks) is a collision of order and anarchy as a superhero fable that spills over in to the real world in a marvelously clever and resonant turn.
