Review: Food and boats go together. I love to rip into a double handful of store brand pop tarts while watching the sun rise over Staten Island. Hammer the throttles wide open just to get the feel of the water under me. Beautiful. Sometimes I get little queasy though. I don’t usually go to children’s movies, but I figured why not. This one is about food raining from the sky on an island. I asked myself, how will people travel to this island? …. That’s right, boats. Or hovercraft. Plus my only other plans on Saturday were to work on my woman suit and frankly it’s turning out to be more effort than I thought it would be.

This movie is way too scary for any kid under 18. My daughter was petrified for the whole second half. It was like an animated cross between the Shining and Alien. And all the jokes were over her head. Don’t insult my daughter with your high-brow humor. But at the very end… (spoiler text! Highlight it to view!!) All the PEople make BOATS out of giaNt sandwIcheS! And for that I give this movie nine heads. RIP Patrick Swayze.



Score:
(9 Heads out of 10)
