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 ...

Die Abenteuer von Mr. Peabody & Sherman (2014) Download Film

Fifty years ago, animated entertainment was a lot quieter. But that was my "Mr. Peabody & Sherman." This is someone else's. And it should give them, and even a few open-minded parents, almost just as much giggly fun.. Mr. Peabody & Sherman is slight, but it's exceedingly charming, making good use of a talented voice cast that includes Stephen Colbert, Leslie Mann, Mel Brooks as Freud, and Stanley Tucci as Leonardo Da Vinci.. Happily, the fallout results in Peabody, Sherman, and Penny all getting...

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...
