YET ANOTHER DIRECTION

In my characteristically snide review of One Direction: This Is Us—you can read it here—something I neglected to mention is that The Kid laughed and laughed at the behind-the-scenes antics of the title boy band. I should also have mentioned that, in the years I’ve been taking her to movies, This Is Us is, if memory serves, the first movie she’s ever requested to be taken to a second time.

All of this probably serves as a more relevant review of the film for the target demographic than my initial one. Anyway, in response to the flick’s unexpectedly strong showing at the box office, opening today is One Direction: This Is Us—Extended Fan Cut. Because it’s also in 3D, the title’s been succinctly abbreviated to 3D 1D: Fan Cut. It features about 20 minutes of additional footage, and four additional songs.
