We were really hoping that such an ecologically friendly, anti-big business movie wouldn’t feel so plastic. But as Dan, a corporate dolt terrorized by the animals of the forest he’s seeking to develop, an especially puffy Brendan Fraser brings his standard big-lug shtick to a new low. Alongside his skeptical school-teacher wife (a stunned-looking Shields), he sustains bee stings, skunk sprays and groin blasts from badly computer-animated woodland creatures while enraging his nasty, racial stereotype of a boss (Jeong). The only saving grace of this wannabe Looney Tune? The animals don’t talk.—Lisa Rosman
