Post-modernism at the end of its tether.

Rating: 3/10 (16 May 2010)

Poor, I am afraid. I've not seen the first two, and surely they are better.
This film was tedious, making its 90mins seem like double that length. Predictable, cynically calculated soundtrack selections, targeting the forty-something demographic: McCartney, Led Zep, Ramones, Sly Stone and Damien Rice.
It is a ridiculously 'star-studded' cast of voice artistes: everyone from old Johnny Cleese to Julie Andrews; Eddie Murphy to Ian McShane; Eric Idle to Justin Timberlake. Yes, plenty of names; but a paucity of character or impact conveyed by any of them. I suppose Rupert Everett is just about an exception, making his Prince Charming relatively memorable.
Overall, this is uninvolving and insipid. Nothing to relate to or enjoy, particularly; just empty post-modernism.
