\u00a0And they surely did.<\/p>\n<p>Overall not a bad flick IF this is what you are looking for, as I was. \u00a0Just the title of the movie or the cover image should be enough of a clue of what you are getting yourself into. \u00a0I gave this one an average five out of ten Steelers Stars.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/steeler_star_small.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"steeler_star_small\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/steeler_star_small.png\" width=\"20\" height=\"19\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/steeler_star_small.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"steeler_star_small\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/steeler_star_small.png\" width=\"20\" height=\"19\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/steeler_star_small.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"steeler_star_small\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/steeler_star_small.png\" width=\"20\" height=\"19\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/steeler_star_small.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"steeler_star_small\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/steeler_star_small.png\" width=\"20\" height=\"19\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/steeler_star_small.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"steeler_star_small\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/steeler_star_small.png\" width=\"20\" height=\"19\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/steeler_star_small_silver.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"steeler_star_small_silver\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/steeler_star_small_silver.jpg\" width=\"20\" height=\"19\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/steeler_star_small_silver.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"steeler_star_small_silver\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/steeler_star_small_silver.jpg\" width=\"20\" height=\"19\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/steeler_star_small_silver.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"steeler_star_small_silver\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/steeler_star_small_silver.jpg\" width=\"20\" height=\"19\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/steeler_star_small_silver.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"steeler_star_small_silver\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/steeler_star_small_silver.jpg\" width=\"20\" height=\"19\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/steeler_star_small_silver.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"steeler_star_small_silver\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/steeler_star_small_silver.jpg\" width=\"20\" height=\"19\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was one of those &#8216;wanna watch a mindless, senseless, rather-obvious plot&#8217;-type kinda of movie day so we decided to stream Netflix and watch &#8216;the pumpkin Karver. \u00a0I absolutely hit the jackpot with this one and got exactly what I expected!
