Movie #174 "Fantastic Mr. Fox" was a bore from start to finish. And I should like it: it has Clooney, Streep, Murray, and it's directed by Wes Anderson, written partly by Noah Baumbuch, but then I didn't get Murray's Life Aquatic movie either --- it left me cold just like this one. Yet, I LOVED Royal Tannebaums, so go figure. And I usually love Roald Dahl, too. I've been waiting to see this movie, and I'm so glad I didn't spent $9 to see it in the movie theatre now because....... I don't get it. I didn't think any of it was funny. Dave and I kind of looked at each other and said, "What the heck" and that was that. If you are looking for excellence in animation, see "Up" that's all I have to say. Or any of the Wallace and Grommit films , which this film looked like it was stealing from.
Average rating: 4.05
I gave it 2 stars
Fantastic Mr. Fox
(2009) PG
When Mr. Fox's nightly raids on three nearby farms raise the ire of the selfish farmers, he must outwit the men's increasingly outrageous plans to catch him in this animated adaption of the Roald Dahl book. As the farmers' schemes take a toll on his hungry family, Mr. Fox must find a new way to get his paws on the bounty. Wes Anderson directs, and George Clooney, Cate Blanchett, Bill Murray and Anjelica Huston lend their voice-over talents in this Oscar nominee.
