REVIEW
The fourth in a series (and hopefully the last) overstays
its welcome by at least 90 minutes, with only Scrat the saber-tooth squirrel providing
any original and/or funny material. The rest of the film comprises recyled themes
and images seen at least once in the preceeding three installments amidst lame
jokes (groaners at best) and slapstick frantic action.
This mayhem will no doubt please the kids but the rest of us
will find it trite. As for the splitting apart of the earth it is too
frightening for the young ones (under 5 I’d say) but that does not seem to be of any concern of the producers. And the thrashing dealt upon poor Granny
shouldn’t be witnessed by anyone, much less by the target audience.
CLASSIFICATION
for mild rude humour and action/peril.
