Family movie for adults and children alike
Added 10/23/2009
My son (3) thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It's fast-paced and has great music, and enough humor for parents that it kept me entertained as well. A few spots were even laugh-out-loud funny. A great addition to any kids' movie collection, and a very cute retelling of a classic tale.

This starts with great promise. It has a self-referential start with a narrator (Garry Marshall doing Peter Falk) talking about uncreative beginnings. Then we see the hero's vision of a huge ball rolling through the town destroying everything. It merges with the similar ball in the first Indiana Jones, literally coming through the screen and out the door. Then it is revealed as a vision. Then there follows notice that a movie is to be made of the stupid chicken. (We see it at the end.) Disney is desperate to cover the loss of its relationship with Pixar, which singehandedly saved the company. Dreamworks seems incapable of doing something with legs. But Disney is ever more straightjacketed with formula and moralizing. That's what defines them. So this movie is yet another disaster. But oh what a great opening. You know, opening sequences have become something of an obsession in Hollywood. Often, they are financed independently and designed and added after the main film is set. You can see that here: the tone and cleverness of the opening is in a much higher class than the tepid movie. Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.

Worst Movie I've Ever Seen
Added 9/4/2009
Yesterday I took a huge dump. Then I looked at it for 81 minutes. It was 1000 times better than this movie. My nephew was watching it and it was so bad he threw up. Aliens? Zach Braff? That terrible baseball scene where Little hits a homerun and those boners are scurrying around the outfield. What? Please, my 2 year old said, "Daddy, this movie blows. Why did you do this to me? Do you not love me?" I was like, "Dude, I'm sorry. Can you ever forgive me?"
I heard Mickey Mouse started drinking heavily after he watched this monstrosity and he hasn't been seen since. I'm going to eat chicken for every meal for the rest of my life just because this movie was that bad. Next time I see a dam chicken clucking around like he owns the joint I'ma boot em right up his ahhhhhhss.

Cute show, love the songs
Added 7/27/2009
My daughter loves this show and the songs are great too. I wasn't expecting the alien invasion when I first watched it, but its still a fun show. Well built characters.
