About the Same as the Television Series

Rating: 7/10 (21 January 2019)

30 July 2007. The movie version has the same raunchy and rather insolent manner of the television series. The humor, the characters are the same. The transfer to the big screen captured the feel and animated enjoyment of the television experience. However, the big film feature was missing the anticipatory big name guess stars that this venture might have had an opportunity to portray. There was some good moral tales along with the more violent and adult-skewed scenes. The movie seemed to waiver in its attempt to continue onto the big arching theme of disaster and maintain the intimate level of television entertainment. The opportunity to focus on some of the minor characters was lost and the opportunity for more depth overlooked for the more pure entertainment, action. While a fun summer animated event, it was missing the fireworks that a major film is expected to produce. Seven out of Ten Stars.
