Odd

Rating: 2/10 (2 December 2006)

While most seem to like the surprising issues confronted in this movie, it mostly seemed to spoil it for me, seeing as all I knew about it beforehand was that there was a bunch of dancing penguins, which isn't just borderline silly. There was absolutely no way I could take it seriously. So when the darker story played out, It was as if someone had set up a knock-knock joke, in which the joke is that my mother had died. Of course, should you be interested in this movie, remember that it's not the silly penguiny dance-fest that the previews make it out to be. It was really expectations that ruined it for me, but if you go not expecting a lighthearted, purely silly anthropomorphism of the penguin species, then the film won't ruin your mood.
