Movie review
From Time Out London
The extraordinarily dextrous woodland creatures in this live actioner are not about to sit back while Brendan Fraser’s real-estate developer Dan Sanders bulldozes their habitat into obliteration, so they set out to make his life hell. Dan brushes off his first altercation with a poorly rendered CGI raccoon as a weird coincidence, but when his nights are disturbed by a magpie tapping on his display home’s window and his car is zapped by skunks, he begins to suspect the animals have it in for him. And so it continues, until he snaps, war is waged and eco-conscious repentance and reconciliation beckon.Fuzzy elements of Chuck Jones’s unruly style are evident in some of the more amusing scenes and Fraser’s not overly incompetent as the butt of so much schadenfreude. But, strewth, did they have to pad it out with so many repeated pratfalls and inconsequential guff? It should play well enough with the under tens, mind.
