I can't stop this feeling, deep inside of me

I saw "Guardians of the Galaxy" at a matinee. I loved individual scenes in it, especially the irreverent bits highlighted in the trailer. But it didn't work for me as a whole: the tone felt all over the place. I think I know why: I saw a different movie than the friends raving about how much fun it was. Pregnancy turned me into the person who tears up at Subaru commercials and Verizon commercials. And I seem to have stuck that way. Anyway, the movie I watched started with a little boy, not much older than my son is now, experiencing a tragedy. And the rest of the movie is filled with visual and auditory reminders of that tragedy. So we'd have fun stuff happening like you see in the trailer, and I'd be having emotional whiplash because I was still searching for a tissue. It's possible that this will be solved by repeat viewings, because I'm sure we'll be getting it on Blu-ray. But maybe not: the damn commercials still make me tear up every time.

Should you go see it? I'd say yes. Nine out of ten people love it and had a lot of fun. Also, I have "Hooked on a Feeling" stuck in my head now. (Reviews that say the soundtrack is a character are not kidding.)
