Well-written funny farce with moments of pure genius

Rating: 9/10 (29 November 2006)

When the movie isn't making you smile, it's making you laugh out right. The voice talent is the best I have heard in a long string of CGI cartoons of late. Well cast, Shandling and Willis are stand outs but Hammy, voiced by superstar Steve Carell, steals the show.
The feel of the entire movie is that of Warner Brother's classic Bugs and company flicks of the 40s. Unexpected funny moments that bloom into absurd (i.e. the skunk dousing the house, views from the planet and general wacky thoughts) visuals make this one easy to watch over and over again.
Kudos to the segment on "Humans obsession with food". RJ explains how we pray to food, dress up like food and consume more than we need. Whichever writers came up with the idea deserves a raise.
Lastly, I could watch or listen to Wanda Sykes read a toothpaste tube -- she's that good. Can't end this review without mentioning the self-parody of William Shatner's over dramatic performance as Ozzie. He is truly an American icon.
Don't miss this one.
