Movie Review: Madagascar

I saw Madagascar on Saturday night. When mothers and fathers started filing in with two, three, four kids in tow, I should have recognized the warning signs.....

I thought, erroneously, that with Chris Rock adding his comic talent, this movie would, at the worst, contain a lot of profanity (not that that's a good thing), at the very best, would contain some biting social sarcasm (not that that's a bad thing).

Once I got my mind around the fact that "This is a Kids Movie," and can appraise it accordingly, it still wasn't very good.

There's just no real storyline that's of any interest. But, back to the main message, "This is a Kids Movie..." kids don't need storylines! They want animation, music, colorful prat falls and the like.

The kids seemed to enjoy it.

I didn't. (And, I'm a die-hard kid at heart!)
