Enjoyable

Rating: Null/10 (18 June 2005)

I enjoy these movies which contain elements aimed at adults as well as the target audience, kids. It's not quite on the same level as Shrek but it does keep itself rolling and never drags.
The jokes are very good and some of the characters I found exceptionally funny, the penguins are just magnificent! The casting was great, choosing Rock to play the lead was a great idea as his voice alone is funny. The only gripe I have about the casting is David Schwimmer, ala Friends fame. It just didn't suit the giraffe he played, maybe that's because I'm a big fan of his, and Friends the show. I don't know, maybe I was just reminded of him too much whenever he spoke but it didn't fit at all and was well out of place.
Aside from that everything was great. We've pretty much seen all of this before in other films like Shrek and Finding Nemo, more of the same you could say, I guess, but you've got to ask yourself, what the hell is wrong with that? :)
