REVIEW
This one is not just for kids. Adults will find it humorous with more than a few pointed references to some of society’s current ills. As a counter balance we see the positive aspects of working together and the benefits of having strong family ties.
There are the requisite crude bodily noises that children expect in a movie of this sort but Hammy’s beginning recitation of the alphabet is right-on. The music is so-so despite the involvement of Hans Zimmer (an off day perhaps?).
With a simple story line, the movie is over before you realise it. Still it is entertaining and a pleasant way to spend an hour and a half.
CLASSIFICATION
for some rude humor and mild comic action.
