f*cking HORRIBLE I am beyond relieved that I didn't spend any money to see this movie. I periodically win free passes to the movies from the local radio station (it pays to be a pop culture trivia dork) and since the only other passes they had available when I went to pick them up on Friday were for movies that I'd already seen, I went with these, thinking my 6 year old would be interested in it. Oy vey. She was somewhat interested, that is, only after she'd finished giving her full concentration to the box of Dibs in her grubby little mitts. She liked the bunny and how it talked to the little girl. Well, stop the presses. What little kid isn't going to like the concept of a talking stuffed animal? The problem is that this movie is talking about a humanity in the future which is dying and they send into the past a stuffed rabbit with the technology to obtain facts about what it's like to live with... um... without.... um... I'm still not clear what the f*ck was wrong with them. It's not a good science fiction movie. It's as if a bunch of retarded Xtians got together and thought this was the best way that they could incorporate science into a movie without looking like they were diminishing the importance of god. (Although god is never mentioned either.) It's sappy and sentimental for no f*cking reason whatsoever, eliciting more of a "what the f*ck?" reaction than a weepy one. It's not a good children's movie because it has elements in it which are not appropriate or are just outright BORING for kids. I bet even on a good day a particularly intelligent 12 year old STILL wouldn't understand what the f*ck was going on. It's not a good movie about preaching how pollutants are infecting people and causing our world to break down because other than mentioning that's what's happening, it's not as if they ever show it. It's not a good movie for parents because it caters to the concept that every adult is a f*cking moron. The kids are LOUSY actors and barely passable for being the movie standard "cute little muchkins!" types. I would have given this movie zero stars if possible, but I will justify the half star by saying that Rainn Wilson as the boy child's science teacher and Kathryn Hahn as his fiancee (the teacher, not the kid) are mildly amusing, even if they clearly look like they don't want anything to do with the picture and are the butt of its miserable excuse for jokes. When we left the theater, I bemoaned it being so bad and My Midget looked up at me and said, "Mommy, it wasn't bad!" So I asked her to explain what was good about it. She placed a finger on her lips and "Ummmm"ed for a long time. Then she shrieked in joy when she saw the new PIRATES poster on the wall and ran over to it, declaring "Oh! Captain Jack!!" Enough said. email this review to a friend
