Hilarious

Rating: 8/10 (18 June 2005)

This film is from the same studio that made the Shrek series. I expected something along those lines going in to see Madagascar. I was wrong. This film is very good. The voices for the four principal characters are all casted perfectly, (Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, David Schwimmer, and Jada Pinckett Smith). One of the problems with the Shrek movies is that there are jokes oriented for younger viewers, and there are jokes oriented for older viewers, therefore, different parts of the audience are laughing at different times. In this movie, the jokes are understandable by everybody.
However, this is a movie that could have been more. The idea is great, but I'm sure different directors would have gone even further with it.
Over all, great.
