How To Train Your Dragon
Every manager knows the proper way to train a new employee is to have him or her interact with co-workers whilst wearing a nametag that reads: "My name is Trainee".
Unfortunately, the nametag belonging to the trainee in this animated adventure has melted.
Raised by an autocratic Viking father (Gerard Butler), who doesn't think he can become a proper dragon slayer, Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) tries desperately to impress him by bringing down an elusive dragon.
Unable to slay the injured beast, Hiccup instead nurses it back to health.
Now, it's up to the unlikely pair to quell the fire-breathing feud between dragons and Vikings before both species are eradicated.
A rip-roaring ride through the skies, How To Train Your Dragon strikes a nice balance between action and humour.
Furthermore, it offers hope to those less successful dragon trainers out there whose healthcare providers refuse to cover any more skin grafts. (Green Light)
