Review of Happy Feet (2006) by Barrys. — 25 Nov 2006

This movie is really not good, in spite of what some professional reviewers wrote. My kids were bored. There is almost no story line. The music is sort of fun, but the environmental message is very heavy-handed and the story line is extremely disconnected.

In the car on the way home my kids said, "That didn't make sense" and proceeded to ask me questions like "Why did he do this?" and "Why did that happen?" Also as a parent I was not happy about some of the mildly explicit sexual innuendo in the film.

The Prince lyrics, the Rap lyrics, Robin Williams taking his harem to have sex with them and saying, "Ok ladies, who's first?" Personally, I want less environmental preaching and less sexual desensitization in these kid's movies.

I would not recommend this show to anyone.
