Surprisingly weak, though worth watching once

Rating: 6/10 (5 December 2001)

Surprisingly weak. The plot is typical for a lot of musicals with the disadvantage of absence of some good music. Eddy Murphy's movie. He tries to steal the show but makes it just a pile of his little gags. At the same time the Donkey is the only character that is well developed. The songs do not go with the plot and the characters. I believe that it is very difficult to keep a romantic line in a movie that is essentially a parody on romantic fairy tales. 6/10 is a mark that approves of the film, but it certainly does not belong to the same class as Toy Story 2.
