Title: G-Force
Director: Hoyt Yeatman
Running time: 1 hour 28 minutes
Genre: Comedy
This story revolves around a group of specially trained animals who are facing the danger of being shut down by the FBI for cost cutting measures. In order to win his superiors over, Ben (Zach Galifinakis) ordered his special animals to infiltrate the residence of a home electronics maker, Leonard Saber which is suspected to be involved with terrorism. The infiltration team consists of 3 guinea pigs Darwin (Sam Rockwell), Juarez (Penelope Cruz), Blaster (Tracy Morgan) and a mole (Nicholas Cage). I never realize that this movie has such a huge cast before writing this review! Anyway, as expected, something went wrong and they were shut down and they attempted to find the truth behind everything... duh...
This comedy is actually quite nice. There were numerous of good laughs throughout the movie and at the same time, there's still adequate action-oriented scenes. Unfortunately (for me), this movie might actually be targeting younger audiences as there were so much mushy conversations throughout... they'll talk about friendship, families and honour... which had me squirming in my seat as I can't really stand such "message to children" in a movie.
So, if you are expecting a mature kind of comedy, this is not the place... the 3 mice and a mole is a pretty giveaway that it's a movie for children. Anyway, I still think that it is an okay movie to bring your children to and if you're into a not so deep movie just for some quick laughs. And I supposed this is a good reason to watch a movie in 3D too... though I think that 3D movies have become quite common of late.
Observation: When Juarez mentioned she played the simulator for 200,000 hours, it meant that it's at least 23 years old, which is impossible as a guinea pig has a known maximum lifespan of 8 years. (from IMDB)
Bottomline: Children only
Bamboo Ranking: 2.7 / 5.0
