The House With a Clock in Its Walls

I was seeing so many awesome previews of The House With a Clock in Its Walls for a while now and have always wanted to watch it with my kids. When it arrived in the mail for us to review, we decided to have a fun, family movie night!

We have always been huge fans of Jack Black (who isn’t?!) so I knew this movie was going to be spectacular! Man, was I right! We love all the actors in this movie!
