Happy Feet

Rating: 1/10 (27 November 2006)

I thought this was the most insipid, banal children's movie that I have seen in a long time..Since the film has been doing so well at the box office, I thought I would check it out: I needed a break from the heavily laden feeling the holiday brings on for me. But this movie was not the antidote..It was so fluffy that I thought better of the intense dramas playing in the neighboring theaters...If you can envision MTV videos with penguins instead of people singing, than you know what Happy Feet is about. The plot was so one dimensional, there were no sub plots and if I knew there would be a plethora of birds breaking out in song and dance, I would have brought a rifle and saved the theater from one more sugarier scene. Who is finding this good anyway..just people under 12?
