If you haven't guessed it already, this review is about the new movie "Happy Feet". While in amazement last week that it was still number one over the new bond...I'm still in a bit of amazement. Yeah, its a cute movie, cute songs, kids will love it. I actually liked it too. But I have to ask...Whats with the penguins??? Do we really not have any other acceptable animals to film? Just because "March of the Penguins" was hurrahed by every famous person you could find, doesn't mean we need another penguin movie. *sigh* oh well. On to the review.
Pros: I thought the movie was cute.
They used well known songs (think Moulin Rouge without the hysteria)
The Amigos are well worth the $8 to get in.
Cons: The movie could have been cuter.
The singing could have been better
The propoganda will swallow you whole and spit you out crying like a little baby.
Why is it that Hollywood needs to be on the lobbist kick? They're here to ENTERTAIN US, not to make us believe in something....ok...I think of Forrest Gump and stand corrected. Who didn't want to be a better person after seeing that? I digress....
The movie was good, I would own it. And if you can get past all the OBVIOUS B.S. thats being thrown at you, you'll like it to. Kids, fortunately, won't get it...or at least not all of it. I'd say wait until it goes to a smaller cheap theatre or if you have a great surround system, rent it. Worth seeing, but not worth being number 1.
Rating: B
Last Thoughts?: Go watch the new bond. It deserves to be number 1.

This movie is blatant propaganda. In Hollywood, environmentalism is the new communism.
The only saving grace of the entire movie is the Amigos.

I think Ted Kennedy should head up the witch hunt to root out all of these crazy whackos. ;)
