Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Mihai Toma Since the beginning of existence, there were minions, tiny little yellow creatures, destined to serve an evil boss in his quest for power, fame and world domination. The only problem was that their bosses had quite some problems staying alive under their supervision. Soon after they settle down by themselves, they realize that their lives are empty without a purpose, so three brave but also foolish minions set out to an evil villain convention in order to find their new master.It's a prequel to the "Despicable Me" movie which tells the story of the minions and how they ended up serving Gru. As you would expect, all their actions are meant to induce laughter and for a while, they succeed. Unfortunately, it all gets mediocre and used up, a good laugh only rarely comes up. It's plot doesn't come in handy either, being unable to do something than can change something in the movie's rhythm.Frankly, I was expecting tons of laughter and a good plot but I got a bit disappointed by the final result.
Critica 7 (hc-18804) This is a bad movie, plain and simple. First off, the character animation is atrocious. The designs look awful, and the movement is unwatchable. The humor is also very juvenile, with very few jokes that actually work. The main character, Flint, is very unlikeable. In fact, most of the characters are awful. Tim Lockwood and the Mr. T cop are good though. The story is predictable and bland. My advice? Go read the book it was based on instead.
Taylor Kingston I really like this movie, it's hilarious and I seriously want that machine. To make food out of anything would be just awesome, and terribly fattening. But if you could make a machine to make food out of thin air, then you could probably make a machine to make you lose the weight you put on, from the food. I think the sequel to this movie is better, but this movie is great and you must watch it before the sequel to fully understand.This movie centers around Flint Lockwood, a young man who thinks he's a genius and is always inventing things. He lives in a community where basically the only food they have are sardines. But then Flint invents a machine to make food fall from the sky, like rain, so the town can have something good to eat, for once. When things get messy with the machine, this is after people build ice cream castles and have the time of their lives, Flint must shut the machine. Eventually, things go so wrong that Flint may not be able to save the town. Target Audience: Families and children.Who will like it? Basically anyone.Overall, I give this movie a 7 out of 10.
Geeky Randy Family-fantasy flick (with touches of science-fiction) about a wannabe-inventor's (Hader) successful creation of converting water into food… and being on an island where sardines is the base of the economy, the clumsy protagonist quickly becomes a hero until the gluttonous and egotistical mayor (Campbell) takes advantage of the device. Lots of laughs for all members of the family; very visual, with a few moments of pretty computer-animated scenery; never a dull moment; and great casting. Mr. T, as the town's athletic cop (with an exact opposite hairstyle as the actor), couldn't have been voiced better by anyone else. Unfortunately, this charming outing is not without its cons, especially with an overly-whacky conclusion. And who would've thought that food falling from the sky would be such a conflict when malnutrition is alive and well? Based on the bestselling children's book.*** (out of four)
