This is boring, can we go home?

Rating: 4/10 (25 July 2005)

My four year old totally failed to get into this movie - from about half way through, he kept asking how much longer it was, and could we go home? Madagascar is mildly funny for adults (at least in its New York stereotypes), but there's far to much rapid verbiage and the characters suffer from too much angst for small children to really be interested. Some of the slapstick made my son laugh, and he was occasionally scared, but he really didn't care at all for the characters. Neither did I - they're just not very likable.
For me, the movie would have been much better if they'd removed the four heroes altogether, and concentrated on the penguins.
Give this one a miss.
