But the movie just doesn't work. Some of the elaborate details are unnecessary and make this 2.5 hour movie feel longer. Even the music and nudity don't help. This is classic James Bond - guns, cars, women, villains, and just enough plot to hold it together. The action sequences are little hard to swallow, but that's part of the charm of 007.
Product placement is a little more blatant than usual.
You know what to expect, and this film delivers. Mostly light comedy about a family gathered for Thanksgiving, there are a few good moments of tension and stress mixed in. Well balanced and well paced, with lots of great interaction between the characters. This will also be good on video, because you can rewind and catch any dialog you miss while laughing. The characters are engrossing, the story is fun for kids and adults, and the fact that it was all animated on computer is really quite irrelevant.
