one word- blah

Rating: Null/10 (2 June 2005)

I was really looking forward to seeing this movie. After viewing about 20 minutes of it, I decided I'd rather take a nap. Unfortunately, I couldn't really sleep and was forced to sit through this drab attempt at comedy. This movie is by no means anywhere near as good as Shrek. I guess I was expecting too much. The comedy isn't clever at all. As an adult, I found it to lack the chemistry and fun of Disney movies and like I said, can't even be compared to Shrek. For kids, it's decent enough. One of the main things that bothered me was how the characters acted. Was it just me or was David Schwimmer's character a lot like Ross? Did Ben Stiller remind you of the same guy from Meet the Parents? And lastly, Chris Rock was definitely trying to be Donkey. if you have kids, wait for the DVD. if you're an adult, don't even bother.
