This is nowhere near as bad as some of the reviews here are saying. The CGI is a bit poor but other than that it is a good family movie. If you watch the film right to the very end there is a very funny dance routine done by the cast. Good to see actors letting their hair way down and having a bit of fun. Brendan Fraser & Brooke Shields are clearly not egomaniacs. I got a few good laughs out of this and it would be a great movie to watch with the kids. I am going to be generous with my score as the 3.8 it has at the moment is very unfair. It is much better than that. Again, be sure to watch the cast dance routine while the end credits roll.

I have to admit that I thought this movie was incredibly stupid, but my kids loved it, and afterall, it was made for them, not for me. They laughed up a storm and gave it 10/10 when I asked them (my rating of 6 is an average of their score and mine!) As other reviewers have written, you have to give the cast credit for giving it their all, even if it was in pursuit of a rather questionable goal. We watched the gag reel and Making Of video on the DVD, and they clearly had a ball making this movie. I also give them credit for shoehorning in a great message about protecting forests - it's never bad for kids to hear that.If you're expecting a deep, meaningful movie experience, this ain't it, but if you and your kids want some cheap laughs, this is a safe bet.

sorry the other reviews expected more from this movie! did they read the summary?i found it stupid, silly, and great fun! sometime silly is best when the actors know it is silly.no the acting isn't grand and yes the plot is goofy but isn't that what this movie is all about?put your expectation on the shelf, grab your favorite drink & snack, and watch something that is consistently silly and just plain dumb! the animals are a hoot and 'the family man' gets a real lesson from them.and stay watching for the goofy closing credits! it's just plain fun to watch and the actors appear to have enjoyed themselves.
