Happy Feet??? I Think Not!!!

Rating: 3/10 (14 December 2006)

"May Cause Toe-Tapping" ... it did that all right, my toes wanted to tap to the nearest exit after the first fifteen minutes. We only stayed because our four-year-old seemed to be enjoying it somewhat! Even then, he was hardly glued to the screen ... this is such a disappointing film given all the hype. It's Emperor's new clothing stuff, and certainly didn't live up to any of our expectations. There has been much written about a veiled left-wing message in this film, I'd venture that the message was neither veiled nor left-wing ... it's just very lame, very tedious, and very cynical. Eaves-dropping on the comments of others who like us stayed until the bitter end, demonstrated that we weren't alone in our disappointment. If you haven't been to see this yet, trust me, you're not missing a thing.
