Misadvertised and boring

Rating: 2/10 (1 January 2007)

OK, the movie Happy Feet gets the 2 points - 1 for the music and 1 for the graphics. The rest of it stank. The plot was predictable, and I was actually looking forward to the "tense/scary" scenes others mentioned so it would at least wake me up. Didn't work.
The film was a vehicle for a very strong left wing environmental message about the evils of humans with our polluting and over harvesting of natural resources - we are the source of all the problems in the world.
Saw this flick with my husband, 2 kids - aged 15 & 11, and our friends (one with a master's degree in Nature Science) and their two kids - aged 13 & 9. Not one of us enjoyed ourselves. Live and learn, I guess. The "anti-religious" themes were not specific at all, more a jab at tradition and generation vs. generation.
So, unless you are a big PETA or GreenPeace supporter, I would avoid this movie. It is not a cute and funny movie about dancing penguins.
