cute movie ... not AS funny as I thought, but cute.

Rating: 8/10 (30 May 2006)

So I went with my mom, sister and guy for a Memorial Day treat to see this movie. My sister went off about how hilarious it looked with the spastic little squirrel thing and how cute the previews were. I saw previews and agreed, it sure did look pretty darn cute. And that was it. The movie was cute. Funny parts here and there, but it reminded me a lot of what I thought of "Ice Age" ... the funny parts that made me laugh were all from the previews with the spastic little squirrel thing.
This was definitely more entertaining than "Ice Age," though, but less entertaining I think for the kids. So don't go bringing the tots who are like four years old thinking they'll enjoy it. It's a bit too in-depth in some parts and there's not enough slap-stick to keep them glued to the screen and prevent them from slapping the person in front of their seat or start crying. Yes. About six incidents disrupted my viewing.
My ultimate favorite scene was with the stopping. If you see it, you'll know, and it made the movie allllll worth it. A few times over worth it even. I don't regret spending the money, even though I didn't pay for it... nowadays movies are so costly they're often times not worth it, but I definitely don't regret it.
If you want to go see something cute and funny for a playful time, go ahead and see this one. I duggit.
