Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

naomi-57364 I really enjoyed the film! It's great for watching it with the whole family.

adonis98-743-186503 Spoiled by their upbringing and unaware of what wildlife really is, four animals from the New York Central Zoo escape, unwittingly assisted by four absconding penguins, and find themselves in Madagascar. I've always loved Madagascar as a franchise and i think it's quite underrated to say the least cause it's pretty damn fun but also very and i mean very enjoyable with lot's of adventure and humor but also drama too. The acting was also very very good and i loved all the characters and especially the little Penguins, definitely a recommend for me. (A+)

classicsoncall Hard to believe this is a decade old already, as old as Marty the Zebra was at the time (he would now be twenty), and I'm just getting around to it. Well I'm late to the party on a lot of things. I thought this was a fun flick and have finally learned the origin of my granddaughter's favorite schtick when she starts in with 'I like to move it, move it...'. With a nod to my favorite TV show of all time, The Twilight Zone, the picture had me with it's reference 'To Serve Lemur'. All you need to know is that it was a cook book. I probably got the biggest kick out of those goofy penguins, I guess I'll have to look up their movie next. As for this one, I thought it was crackalacking.

James Beckham This was an average Dreamworks, memorable, crude, but just a decent film, not great. The film mainly revolves around four animals, Melman the giraffe, Gloria the hippo, Alex the lion, and his best friend Marty the zebra. Then they also added two male monkeys and 4 penguins (who later got their own movie, "The Penguins of Madagascar") who are named Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, and Private. The penguins want to go to the wild and Marty finds he wants to as well. So, thus begins the crazy adventure to the wild.The film is very memorable in that the story revolves around Alex's and Marty's friendship and how they try to stay friends in hard times. It can get very emotional at times. That's what made it memorable.The film was crude. Sexual innuendo, suggestive language, and a few suggestive jokes grace the film, and oh, I forgot, the comic violence (thanks to the penguins).But, like usual for a Dreamworks film, it was only really a decent film. It is a film I wouldn't mind seeing again as it was rather humorous and had a good story, but it still was a bit mediocre. Overall, I think this is a film older families could enjoy. I personally wouldn't let a child under 8 see the film (due to some suggestive language), but it's still a good film for the family to watch sometime during a family movie night or for the kids to see during a road trip. I give it a six out of 10.
