Reviewer notes
RecommendedTrusted family reviewersso freaking funny, a classic
RecommendedTrusted family reviewersAdam Sandler with another funny animated movie.. I dont even like animated movies, but his are good cause there very funny.
Not recommendedOh. This was... **super** underwhelming. Like I mean, I was prepared to appreciate it less than the majority of audiences, I often don't love kids' media, and I'm not really a fan of Adam Sandler, but I didn't think that I wouldn't find any appeal in it **at all**. This is just one I genuinely do not see what people are talking about when they give it a favourable review. _Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointi...
RecommendedThe idea is clearly an evolution of what Shrek meant. Other than that, the script and dialogues are not so brilliant. It was boring for a big deal of the time and there were too many things going on and too fast. You can recognize Genndy Tartakovsky's style in the movie but I've liked other of his works much more than this.
