Cars 2 (2011) Online-Streaming-

...by Pixar's outrageous standards of Oscar shoo-in virtuosity, this sequel is a disappointment at best.. The law of averages has finally caught up with the most remarkable studio in modern movie history, the dream factory that lived up to Buzz Lightyear's joyous cry of "To infinity and beyond." This frenzied sequel seldom gets beyond mediocrity.. We've come to expect perfection from Pixar, mostly because Pixar expects perfection from itself.. Like its predecessors, a tediously cartoonish candy-...

Shaun das Schaf - Der Film (2015) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

Secondhand Lions manages to squander the services of seasoned vets Michael Caine and Robert Duvall, and promising newcomer Haley Joel Osment, with a tale that is dramatically false and disturbingly vicious.. ... Michael Caine is badly miscast in this movie. I didn't believe him for one second in that role.. The Muppets is a triumph of simplicity, innocence and goofy jokes. It's a triumph of felt.. It may not entirely work as a movie, but The Muppets shines as a piece of touching pop nostalgia.. ...

Winn-Dixie – Mein zotteliger Freund (2005) Film Abspielen

Mildly diverting and way too long for a movie aimed at kids.. This is a movie to take your kids to.. Fans of DiCamillo's book should be pleased with how Wang has faithfully preserved the novel's clear-eyed depiction of both pain and joy.. Because is proof positive that nostalgia and dogs go together like Winn and Dixie.. Parents who claim they crave thoughtful entertainment for their kids finally have a movie they can get behind..

Frankenweenie (2012) Voll Streaming

For adults, it's like being hit over the head with a mallet every 10 seconds for 90 minutes. Two days later, I still had a headache.. . While "Frankenweenie" is fun, it is not nearly strange or original enough to join the undead, monstrous ranks of the classics it adores.. Hollywood continues its tired milking of old television properties with Alvin and the Chipmunks, a slick updating of the musical-cartoon franchise.. This is a family comedy that will entertain the kids and amuse the grown-ups....

Zoom - Akademie für Superhelden (2006) Download Voll

Cox falls down three times, Allen belches and Chase gets covered with buckets of green snot. Scenes keep ending on non-jokes like this exchange: 'No way!' 'Way!'. The director of Zoom is Peter Hewitt, who also directed Garfield. Nothing more to say about that.. The under-achieving Zoom resembles nothing so much as as a subpar episode of a failed Disney Channel teleseries.. A crashing, thudding dullness infects every moment of Zoom.. Zoom is a movie that you've probably seen several times already...

Jagdfieber (2006) Streaming-

The film wraps mindless cartoon violence and a few fart jokes around life lessons about friendship and responsibility. Kids should like it; parents won't mind it.. [A] summer-weight but winsome basketball fantasy.. This is a lot of fun and Lil' Bow Wow, now calling himself Bow Wow, is very charming.. One of the biggest surprises in this first full-length film from Sony Pictures Animation is how funny Ashton Kutcher is as Elliot.. For an inaugural effort, Open Season ain't bad, but the studio sho...

Operation Nussknacker (2014) Film Abspielen

The small-town setting of a half-century ago is beautifully animated by director Peter Lepenotis and his team, and there are some nicely staged old-school action sequences.. Someone spent a lot of time making the architecture and production design match the era. Grandparents getting dragged to "The Nut Job" will be appreciative.. Pretty much everything in this South Korean co-production is slightly undercooked, lacking the same degree of sprightly wit or dramatic punch regularly found in A-list ...

Turbo - Kleine Schnecke, großer Traum (2013) Online-Streaming-

It's only disguised as fun.. There are many more delighted 'Ewwws' than too-easy 'Awws' in this charming, if a tad cynical, feature from the creators of Coraline and ParaNorman.. You know we're in serious trouble when even old pros such as Michael Caine and Luis Guzman can't do anything with the uninspired and unfunny script.. Sincerely tries to pay homage to the likes of Jules Verne and Robert Louis Stevenson but is too contaminated by today's tame sensibilities to make it fly.. [A] totally off...

Old Dogs - Daddy oder Deal (2009) Online-Streaming-

Though no animals were harmed in the making of Old Dogs, the lead actors were defanged. But like a pair of Labradors, they have a playful rapport.. It is observant about human (or chicken) nature.. Even the target audience of 10-year-olds might get jimmy legs sitting for a punishing 135 minutes as the Wachowski brothers projectile-vomit their cotton-candy dreams all over the big screen.. If Old Dogs isn't the absolute worst movie either star has appeared in, it's close enough to count.. Shapes h...

Ice Age 4 - Voll verschoben (2012) Voll Streaming

Feels more like straight-to-DVD filler than a chapter in one of the last decade's most entertaining and sophisticated family-film franchises.. The Spy Kids series once seemed charmingly homemade. These days, it feels less charmingly homemade than maddeningly amateurish.. Life is too short for Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in 4D.. Don't tell the kids, but Santa Claus isn't real and Pixar is fallible.. They said it couldn't be done. But Pixar proved the yaysayers wrong when it made its first...

Gullivers Reisen - Da kommt was Großes auf uns zu (2010) Beobachten Film

The filmmakers have said they are already dreaming up a sequel. They needn't hurry. Whatever treasures these pirates have are well buried.. To paraphrase a certain man with a certain luxuriant beard, it's only impossible to enjoy if you stop to think about it.. A migraine inducement that you'd think Jack Black had gotten out of his system years ago.. Gulliver's Travels strips the source material down to its recognizable parts and then builds something completely new out of them. Unfortunately, t...

Ice Age (2002) Online-Streaming-

Real Ice Ages were no jokes. They lasted about 100,000 years and froze most life on the planet. But as long as Leguizamo's Sid and Wedge's Scrat are on screen, this one warms you with laughter.. From the squirrel's mad, droopy eyes, to the rumba rhythms of Manny's rear end, to the way Diego settles into sleep like a tabby, these creatures are alive enough to love, and lament.. A minor delight but a delight just the same .... It's clever enough to amuse adults, yet sufficiently kid-friendly to de...

Das wundersame Leben des Timothy Green (2012) Online-Streaming-

A murderously unfunny rethink of the groundbreaking literary satire.. Somewhere by the middle, the souffle collapses, and the movie becomes sleep-inducing. Gulliver doesn't have much to do in Lilliput, and we notice that before he does.. Not only is the story dreamed up by producer Ahmet Zappa even odder than the title indicates, its execution gets increasingly irritating as the film goes on.. Some films are phoned in. The staggeringly awful "Gulliver's Travels" was texted.. [It] feels like a re...

Ice Age 2 - Jetzt taut's (2006) Online-Streaming-

On the short list of sequels superior to the originals -- alphabetically between The Godfather, Part II and Toy Story 2 -- you may enter Ice Age: The Meltdown.. A good-natured, gag-filled sequel to the hit animated movie about animals trying to evade extinction while trading one-liners.. You'll take your kids, yes. But don't be surprised if this one leaves them cold as you-know-what.. Ice Age: The Meltdown, a follow-up to the 2002 animated prehistoric hit, is the rare sequel that is better than ...

Verwünscht (2007) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

The film, anchored by an entrancing performance by Amy Adams and a strong ensemble cast, is cleverly written. The situations are funny, and the story feels effortlessly entertaining.. The gag wouldn't work with just anyone in the lead, but Adams' openhearted performance never winks. She really does want the best for everyone, and can't fathom why they don't all feel the same.. It's only when the story hits the streets of NYC and Adams starts hamming it up (much like Julie Hagerty did in 'Airplan...

Gregs Tagebuch - Von Idioten umzingelt! (2010) Beobachten Film

A breezy, funny, touching, action-packed sequel.. For a movie touting "inner peace," this 3-D sequel sure goes in for its share of battle scenes, but for the most part they are excitingly conceived by director Jennifer Yuh Nelson and her writers, Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger.. Largely avoids the gimmicky saccharine aftertaste that's typical of the genre. Anyone older than the story's resident Job, however, may not find much to write home about.. . The writing is funny during individual moment...

Eine zauberhafte Nanny (2005) Voll Streaming

Unfunny, sappy and massively predictable.. In RV, the downwardly spiraling career trajectories of Robin Williams and director Barry Sonnenfeld intertwine like the ropes of a tangled parachute.. ...Pleasing but ultimately unsatisfying.. Nanny McPhee isn't a bad film, just a disappointing one.. Nanny McPhee is clever enough, but it never feels like it's hitting quite the right notes.. A workmanlike family comedy with enough pratfalls and poo jokes for tykes and enough sentimentality for parents.. ...

Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. I really like this movie. thank you. You've seen this movie before, when it was called Alvin and the Chipmunks, but the filmmakers are hoping that your kids don't remember.. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. The film conceals as much as it revea...

Garfield - Der Film (2004) Film Abspielen

Perfectly watchable.. I'm not a Garfield purist or anything, but at the very least, shouldn't this movie be funny?. Only very small children still easily impressed by interaction of human actors and CGI quadrupeds will be amused by Garfield: The Movie.. Garfield may or may not have nine lives. But you may leave the theater feeling you've left at least one of your own behind.. Bland, workmanlike and instantly forgettable.. Soulless excuse for an entertainment.. Without Murray, the film would have...
