Face-ache Laughter Abounds!

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2001)

I knew this movie would be interesting because of the computer-generated
imagery (CGI), and I figured it would be funny with Eddie Murphy in it,
but I had NO IDEA I would have as much fun as I did watching it! My
face started aching from large smiles and laughter about 20-30 minutes
into the film and never stopped. There were a lot of paradies of known
sci-fi and fantasy blockbusters, some subtle, some not. There were also
generic funnies for both children and adults.
I should also mention that one of the friends with whom I went to see it
looks for the details of CGI and was very impressed with the CGI in this
film. As an example, he noted that as the characters walked, the grass
under their feet would be flat and gradually wave back into the upright
position, just like in real life. I didn't notice this, but that's
probably because it was so well done! Isn't it true with most special
effects that you only notice them if they're bad?
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND
