Alvin und die Chipmunks 3 - Chipbruch (2011) Beobachten Film

Flails about in search of a creative reason to exist.. . Largely inoffensive but equally unimaginative.. 87 minutes of high-pitched singing, shenanigans, bad behaviour and family bonding, enlivened by a decent Sarah Palin joke.. In the end, I'd rather hang onto fond memories of my Eisenhower-era record, squeaky voices and all.. There is chipmunk gambling. There is seductive dancing by Chipettes wearing only towels. There is a musical gag involving the lyric "whip my tail back and forth.". "Chipw...

Raise Your Voice - Lebe deinen Traum (2004) Download Film

Spirited entertainment for all but the youngest members of the group (Oddball faces peril that will haunt little ones).. This is for Duff's already committed audiences, which presumably consist of the young, the innocent and the commercially acquisitive.. The film suffers from a syndrome I'll call the Pop Princess's New Clothes. Hilary can't really sing, and neither can Terri, so you can't help but wonder, what's the big whoop?. Close's combination of Norma Desmond and the Bride of Frankenstein ...

Gnomeo und Julia (2011) Voll Streaming

Fortunately, the movie throws adults a few bones along the way; this is by no means an unpleasant film to watch, and the Ice Age short that runs with it is funny, too.. A surprisingly touching, low-key ballad of middle-aged male regret disguised as a kiddie comedy replete with poop and fart jokes and soccer balls launched at Popper's crotch.. "Toy Story" goes Shakespearean in this animated retelling of the tale of the star-crossed lovers of Verona.. The director, Mark Waters, moves things briskl...

Der Babynator (2005) Download Voll

This is great. I loved it.. The director of Bringing Down the House and the writer and co-creator of Reno 911! fail to find anything funny outside of the diaper pail.. A by-the-numbers follow-up to the highly successful 2005 feature that was no great shakes to begin with.. An abysmal comedy.. If you own a TV, you will have heard the best laughs excerpted in unrelenting commercials leading up to the movie's release.. With so many characters to cram in and not much for many of them to do, Escape 2...

Die Monster AG (2001) Download Voll

The good guys are those who realize that laughter is stronger than fear. That's a message worth taking to heart these jittery days.. Its reassuring message is more relevant than ever.. Supple and technologically sophisticated entertainment.. Though a bit indulgent of its star power at times, Monsters is funny and sweet enough to delight kids and inventive enough to satisfy adults.. Though the comedy is sometimes more frenetic than inspired and viewer emotions are rarely touched to any notable de...

Mensch, Dave! (2008) Online-Streaming-

The movie never quite coheres into a consistent vision.. . Made by people who clearly think themselves much smarter than their audience. In place of whimsy, it offers cynicism.. The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle is completely in the spirit of its progenitor.. Meet Dave pays lip service to the joys of exploring new worlds, but it never steps off the tour bus.. . This is made-for-TV material dressed up by Eddie Murphy's participation into a theatrical release.. There's a word for this movie, ...

Eine zauberhafte Nanny - Knall auf Fall in ein neues Abenteuer (2010) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

The Smurfs ends up being just below average, it won't give you nightmares, and small ones might dig it.. On a hot summer day, "The Smurfs" is a decent enough excuse to haul the little ones into an air-conditioned theater.. May Nanny McPhee return again, very soon.. I wouldn't smurf Gosnell's 'The Smurfs' on my smurfiest enemy.. This Horton Hears a Who! never loses sight of the simple but perennially powerful theme at the heart of Seuss' tale: 'a person's a person, no matter how small.'. . Horton...

Löwen aus zweiter Hand (2003) Streaming-

. . Secondhand Lions tries to delight, but its charms are no more credible than the swashbuckling adventure that Caine's character recounts.. An air of contrivance and, worse, fraudulence, hangs over this gentle fantasy, despite some charming moments.. Of little interest to anyone except those who thought Air Bud was too smutty.. One of those headed-for-cable oddities that must have sounded like a good idea at the time.. As entertaining as it is wholesome.. The whole thing's just not funny enoug...

Charlie und die Schokoladenfabrik (2005) Online-Streaming-

The summer's most visually arresting escapist adventure.. Inconsistent and undisciplined, Minions is more an adjunct to marketing than a legitimate motion picture.. As you would expect, the script - there is one, sort of - feels as if it was written to fill the blanks in a Mad Libs story.. In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, director Tim Burton does his best work in years.. Opulently entertaining.. Fittingly, because they're pill-shaped, the Minions work best in small doses.. "Minions" is prod...

Hop - Osterhase oder Superstar (2011) Beobachten Film

Brand does manage to play an obnoxious creature with a kind of charm. He feels like the only person who doesn't need this movie.. It offers a glimmer of amusement, but only to kids still young enough to believe in the Easter Bunny.. A fun and funny mix of live action and animation that puts the hop back into Easter.. As fake and forgettable as a marshmallow Peep, "Hop" goes down easy enough. It's the thought of a talented actor stuck on an industry conveyor belt that leaves an unfortunate aftert...

Aquamarin - Die vernixte erste Liebe (2006) Online-Streaming-

Aquamarine isn't good enough to be a teen classic, but its audience will leave the theater happy.. This movie, in fact, is all about conformity.. Both Roberts and Levesque are better known for their recording careers than their acting, and while they have regular-girl presence, their believability wavers greatly from scene to scene.. This film is entirely harmless. It's utterly forgettable.. The movie has a sweetness and innocence that makes it near perfect entertainment for its target audience....

Findet Nemo (2003) Beobachten Film

Very clever and imaginative indeed.. Nemo, with its ravishing underwater fantasia, manages to trump the design glamour of earlier Pixar films.. A visual marvel, every frame packed to the gills with clever details, Finding Nemo is the best big-studio release so far this year.. A genuinely funny and touching film that, in less than a decade, has established itself as a timeless classic.. The latest flood of wizardry from Pixar, whose productions, from Toy Story onward, have lent an indispensable v...

Flutsch und weg (2006) Film Abspielen

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.. The sequel to Ice Age is very much like the original: witty and imaginative at times, dull and predictable at others.. The Meltdown is at least faithful to its predecessor in the sense of being equally as underwhelming.. [The film] has lots of energy, some decent animation and good voice-over work -- but no real story and few chuckles.. ...

Die Chroniken von Narnia: Der König von Narnia (2005) Online-Streaming-

Thank you for giving information about the film. this a good movie to be watched for sure.. This PG-rated movie feels safe and constricted in a way the story never does on the page. It leaves out the deep magic of a good movie, or a good sermon: the feeling that something vital is at stake.. It can be a good thing, St. Paul tells us, to put away childish things. But it is sometimes an even better thing to pick them up again.. This is the single best movie I have ever seen.Thanks for your movie i...

Spy Kids 2 - Die Rückkehr der Superspione (2002) Beobachten Film

A recycling machine that recalls the high points of previous installments without demonstrating the need for a new one.. If there were a Shrek TV show, this could be the two-part finale of, say, season 3. It isn't bad. It just doesn't belong on a movie screen.. Rodriguez seems to be trying too hard to cram in too much - more gadgets, more characters, more noise, more color. But bigger, brighter and faster isn't necessarily better.. Mr. Murphy's toothy, shifty-eyed Donkey who distills the series'...

Daddy ohne Plan (2007) Film Abspielen

Bedtime Stories champions imagination while having too little originality itself.. . [Actress] Pettis is adorable, but she's compelled to push the cuteness dial well past one's tolerance level.. Judged as a piece of family entertainment, it's too haphazard and poorly paced to satisfy viewers too young to have ever attended a kegger.. It's a delightfully innocent movie that the actor can actually show to his two baby daughters without blushing.. There are worse ways to spend two hours with your c...

Planes (2013) Film-Streaming

"Cars," with planes. And some cars. And a truck or two.. [It] isn't as giddily entertaining as its predecessor but much of the charm remains, making this an ideal destination for a family excursion.. This film is 100 percent devoid of surprises. It's the story of an underestimated underdog that's like every other kid-friendly, life-coachy story about an underestimated underdog.. The songs are infectious, but the rest (despite turns by Tina Fey and Ty Burrell) lacks some of the gang's usual feel-...

Dinosaurier (2000) Online-Streaming-

Witty, sweet and -- in 3D -- often visually dazzling, Bolt is an unexpected pleasure, a showbiz, sci-fi spin on a classic Disney tale that's sure to please small kids and parents alike.. The directors and screenwriters hit all their marks and push all the right buttons, but the story never really takes off, and the characters never really spark to life.. At the end of the day, Bolt is a sweet Disney family film, but Lasseter's oversight has made it smarter than it otherwise would have been.. It'...

Die Schlümpfe 2 (2013) Film-Streaming

Shabbily filmed and resolutely unfunny.. When it comes to action, comedy, and drama, three words apply: lamer, lamer, lamest.. This insipid, and sometimes awkward, blend of animation, computer generation and live action wastes a ton of talent and lacks a true sense of whimsy.. It would be too much to say that there's a good movie somewhere inside Smurfs 2 looking to get out. But it wouldn't be too much to say that sometimes, the movie we do have tries harder than we might expect.. Frankly, this ...

The Kid - Image ist alles (2000) Beobachten Film

Although Fat Albert is smart enough to poke fun at itself director Joel Zwick can't quite conjure up any modern relevance.. Squeaky-clean but uninspired.. It's unlikely anyone over the age of 12 will find much to cheer about in the bland, sanitized moralizing this revamp of the decades-old Saturday morning cartoon show delivers.. . This movie is as lame as it is tame.. . Anyone who still doubts that Bruce Willis is one of the best actors working in films today should check out how he punches up ...
