Product reviews...
As a kid I was raised on the classic fairytales, full or morals and hidden meanings and messages, grown from the fertile imaginations of the master storytellers, before Hollywood snapped them up to churn out the pap we call entertainment these days. One of the tales that stuck in my head the most was the original tale of Chicken Little, riddled with such pearls of wisdom as "Be certain you have all the facts before you start squarking your beak."
Well, this version is a little bit of a twist on that old tale. I don't recall the original having aliens in octopoid robot suits, chameleonic spaceships, or psychologically-traumatised bonsai chickens secretly in love with buck-toothed ducks. But it still carries a good moral message, this time aimed at parents: "Be supportive of your kids, 110%, even if you think they are wrong."
Full of action, comedy (including some tongue-in-cheek adult-level jokes), thrills and spills, and the odd heartstring-tugging moments, this is a great movie for the whole family to enjoy. The PG rating is quite appropriate, as there are some moments the wee ones might find a bit scary, but it's all done is such an over-dramatic fashion they will easily accept that it couldn't possibly happen to them.
My sprog and I both loved the ending, even though it only highlights how the media and Hollywood can take the smallest thing and blow it up to epic proportions, full of utter cheese, but it was still a great laugh. One of the best family movies we have seen in a long time.
