So how much more can they get out of cussing kiddies playing baseball? Apparently an additional 91 minutes – 91 painful, horrendous, baseball-bat-to-the-crotch-three-times minutes.

The comedic value of kids talking like a bitter pirate with hemorrhoids and smoking [was] played out mid-way through the first film.

Aside from the charming technical aspects, A Miser Brothers’ Christmas is a fat lump of coal in the Christmas special canon.
As much as I adore Babe, it’s times like these when I wished he were turned into bacon.

It’s like doing a puzzle a second time. It’s familiar, it’s redundant and it’s rarely exciting.

While there are times of moderate amusement, Shrek the Third offers few surprises. It seems as though perhaps the creators have found their stride and are calling it in more than going out on a limb.

Like any gimmick, once the initial intrigue of the 3-D has been satiated you’re left looking at Game Over like you would with any other. And once you start looking at [it] like any other film you quickly realize it’s boring.

I’ve got a joke for you. How many blondes does it take to make a sequel? I’ll let you write your own punchline because no matter what you come up with it’s likely to be funnier than Legally Blonde 2.
Reloaded is far from bad. It’s not great either. The visuals alone make it worth seeing but most everything else falls way short of expectations.
