Even for someone who doesn't like Mel Gibson.

Rating: 10/10 (3 March 2006)

As I have a very low opinion of Mel Gibson, it is especially noteworthy that I liked "Chicken Run". Made by the same people who make the "Wallace and Gromit" cartoons, it portrays a gaggle of hens trying to break out of a British farm - some scenes even spoof "Stalag 17" and "The Great Escape" - with the help of American rooster Rocky (Gibson). With the perfect blend of humor and suspense (and in a cartoon no less!), this is one movie that's sure to please everyone. I really liked the constant "holiday" comments, and that end sequence was a hoot. Also starring Julia Sawalha, Miranda Richardson, Jane Horrocks, Imelda Staunton, and Timothy Spall.
