Review of Planet 51 (2009) by Joe W — 01 Sep 2012
It has a good idea, but sadly Planet 51 is poorly executed. There's one or two good laughs in this Spanish animated film, but most of them involve slapstick and toilet humor. It's also very ugly to look at. There's nothing to get excited over the design of this film, it's just bland.
The whole joke where everyone thinks the human can turn aliens into zombies is just stupid and eye-rolling. So are the sci-fi references. Every time I see a Star Wars parody, I want to vomit.
I'm sure The Rock..... sorry, Dwayne Johnson, Gary Oldman and John Cleese were happy to get their paychecks.
It's so tiresome that even kids will be bored. Rent them out a Pixar or a Dreamworks film instead.
