Get a Real Job

Rating: Null/10 (24 November 2004)

I went on the first weekend to the posh Central London Cinema with my three youngest children to see this film. It was a packed house, full of children. An expectant buzz before the show.
A warm up pixar film about a white sheep failed to dampen our mood.
Fantastic imagery, amazing skill, technical excellence, but little else. The children became restless, pre-teens all over the cinema started whispering, by the end the film was drowned out by the conversations of parents and children.
At the end, dissatisfied, I waited for the comic twist at the end-the titles-hoping for some quirky out takes-not a sausage.
Just hundreds of names-I have never seen longer lists. Can a film, so basically simple and presumably built by a computer need so many people?
And then it dawned on me-we have all been conned. My fifty pounds has contributed to their salaries. This is not a film it is a machine for making obscene amounts of money.
Stay away don't let them get away with this.
