Good - but not as good as I'd hoped

Rating: 6/10 (8 July 2001)

I enjoyed this movie - but not as much as I'd hoped. Don't get me wrong, for an adult it's better than any Disney film but it's just not that funny. That are no great jokes in it and you sort of sit waiting for the really good bits to come - but they don't because there aren't any. It's entertaining enough and it treats the audience with respect (no silly sentimentality) but it's no Antz. I think that the major problem is the plot - it's very weak so all the other good bits in the movie (the attitude, voices, animation etc.) simply make up for the lack of plot. So 6/10.
