[Movie] Madagascar

Oh! Look! Talking animals! Cuuuuute!

That pretty much sums up Madagascar, Dreamworks' latest computer animated feature. The funniest thing of this one are the supporting characters - the paramilitary penguins, the posh, poo-throwing monkeys and the dumb-as-doorbells lemurs. The main characters are unfunny most of the time, only the hypochondriac giraffe manages to get some laughs at times. The underlying message is, of course, "friendship conquers all". Didn't see that coming from a few miles. But hey, it's a kid's movie, so it isn't supposed to be too complicated, is it? On the other hand, if it can have dead human bodies and a major plot point revolving around the killing of small cute animals, why shouldn't it have a story that takes more than two fucking minutes to figure out? Only watch if you intend to give your brain 80 minutes of rest, you won't really need it for this.
