A 'Cool' movie and a 'Cool' review!

Rating: 9/10 (10 April 2006)

At last, a comedy we can look back on and say...thats what our decade is all about! After the horrors such as 'Chicken Little' and 'Cheaper by the dozen' It seemed as if good kids movie's had been wiped forever. Well we were wrong! Ice age was a 'thawesome' movie. Ice Age 2 is even better. All the character, including some new ones, return for the sequel, where it seems the animals are getting on with their normal lives...that is until their wintery wonderland begins to melt...leading to the ultimate race against the clock! Can Manny, Syd, Ellie, Scrat and all our other Ice Age friends make it in time, or will they all perish in the melt-down? The storyline is actually pretty harrowing, however the non-stop humour and charisma of each of the characters makes this for an incredibly magical experience, for fans, kids and adults alike. We also see the return of Scrat, the half squirrel / half rat, who has a nack of getting into tight spaces on his perilous journey to chase that acorn! And of course, It wouldn't be ice age without Sid the sloth, who never fails to perform a good trick, making giddy kids jump up and down, and adults make a nice smile. And for once, this could actually be a part kid part adult movie, with a few 'adult' jokes causing a few smirks here and their. Whilst the kiddies may not get these jokes, there is enough colourful verses and phrases which will, indeed have them smiling.
To conclude, all i will say is, see this movie if you have kids. see it if you don't, because i can guarantee that you will enjoy it all the same. if you don't, then let me know. In the meantime, have fun, and get ready for the ICE AGE! (lol)
