Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

An animated follow-up to Fritz the Cat that must have been worked out on a computer. Take one pinball wizard, plus one godfather, plus one underground comic artist, plus black chickette power, plus anything else that grabbed the boppers ten years ago, and you should have what they all want to see. Despite the occasional stream of animated piss, stretched cock or flashed twat, or the 'innovation' of combined live and animated sequences, the movie falls apart at every seam, a humourless mess, a stale joke. The quality of the animation is cornflake packet standard, the script - one or two minor moments excepted - a disaster. JDuC.

    Posted on Feb 18 2011 22:25 The main reviewer took it to seriously missed the mark by a long shot. It was never gooing to be a Bambi film I think it worked quite well for that kind of film.

    Terrible Review.
