My friends and I may have been the oldest, but we had the most fun

Rating: 8/10 (20 August 2005)

A small group of my friends and I had decided to see this movie based on an inside joke. We thought the theater would be packed (as it was opening day), but it was almost virtually empty, except for a few 5 year old children.
The movie was very fast paced, and I was laughing more than I ever had. Although it appeared aimed at a younger audience, their were a few jokes which should have been aimed at a PG-13 audience. The animation and graphics were terrific, and I extremely liked how they moved every hair on the animals' bodies when they moved or ran on screen. The plot was supposed to be focused on Marty's journey, but wound up focusing on Alex the most.
All though I liked all the casting for voices, but they made Melman, played by David Schwimmer, a little to much like Ross, which got annoying.
I wouldn't recommend seeing the movie a second time since the plot and movie gets boring after one time. But it was a great movie for the family overall.
