I didn't feel like hitting the theaters during the Labor Day weekend, but I did go and see this with a foxy friend this past weekend. I only know a couple words of Spanish, so I'm sure I missed out on most of the double-entendres and other wordplay, but there are definitely quite a few racy jokes that made it into the English subs, and I can see why the movie got a PG-13 rating :) There's even a scene where one of the eggs asks the female egg for a "massage with happy ending"—and she agrees to it! (Then they both turn to the audience and wink before the scene changes :)
We went to an 8pm showing on Saturday in Austin, TX, and at first were the only ones in the theater. Eventually more people came in though, but it was really sparsely-attended. I think there were around ten people total--including some young kids. I don't know if everyone who wanted to see it already saw it last week, or if 8pm was too late for an ostensibly kiddie movie, but it couldn't have made the top 10 with the attendance we saw.
We both enjoyed the movie. It's no masterpiece, and the plot's nothing groundbreaking... but it's well-animated and fun :) I like foreign animation, and it's great that this got a US theatrical release.
Also, I learned about a new species of animal—they only get a tiny bit of screen time, but there's a pair of tlacuaches, or Mexican mouse opossum. Although for some reason, they look a lot like rats... even the characters are confused as to what they are: in this clip from the first movie in the series, the egg says something like "Hey, rat!", and the opossum says something about "tlacuache". In RL, they look similar to the more familiar (to those in the US) Virginia opossum, and are kinda cute in an opossum way :)
