Don't Bother REALLY !

Rating: 5/10 (24 September 2004)

Well I am not usually very hard on movies and tend not to criticize even an average fare, but this one is really average. I mean nothing special about it and I guess those "pop culture jokes" are getting too predictable. There were hardly any spontaneous laughs or really heart warming moments in this movie. Even that very charm of most animated movies, which is taking audience into an adorable fancy journey, was missing. Despite having it all (a team of A-list actors and an undeserved huge success of Shrek2), this one still misses the bus this time. I think commercially movie will do well and it is only because of lack of competition, but I am not too sure about it either. Because in Australia, where I watched this movie, tickets were easily available for a 7:30pm Friday night screening just 15 mins before the showtime which is very rare and the cinema was only 60% full, now do the maths and figure out how far would this one go !!!!
