Everything is awesome about the LEGO Movie.

The 100-minute long advertisement for Lego products touches the hearts of children and adults in its various comical acts. For the kids, it shows a hero who overcomes his inabilities and saves the world from evil, but for the older audience, there is a lot more than what meets the eye, especially when cameo are shown have many references to popular culture as possible.

Contrary to the common toy-inspired movie, trying to be more than what it is, is not something the Lego movie accomplishes, such as Transformers, or G.I. Joe.

The movie itself intentionally mocks the cliché tale of every fantasy, sci-fi, cowboy, pirate story. An unlikely hero is chosen to face the impossible by a skillful master of the trade, and has to overcome his lack of experience throughout the movie, until he reaches the climax, where he defeats the evil which threatens society.

It is sometime hard to keep up with the Lego movie, as it incorporates humor into every possible act they can throw comedy into. Whimsical characters such as a head-swiveling “Good-Cop/Bad-Cop” can easily throw off a viewer’s grasp on reality.

English teacher Charlie Haueter is a well-known advocate of the LEGO product line, which is clearly evident by his tattoo of Lego Princess Leia and Han Solo from the Star Wars franchise.

“I’ve been collecting them since I was able to stick the blocky things together,” said Haueter. “I have over 50 or so sets, not including the assorted ones, and probably something like 200+ characters.”

Haueter is easily a professional when it comes to Legos, especially since he can confirm that his longest build was approximately six and a half hours where he built a set modeled after a piece by Frank Lloyd Wright, a widely known American architect.

When asked how much money he has spent on Lego products and paraphernalia, Haueter shamefully responds after a few minutes of calculating with a humble “Three or four thousand dollars.”, and plans on passing some of his Lego collection to his future son.

…but not all of them.
