Breathless excitement, silly laughs - G-Force
SMILE ALL THE WAY:G-Force
Review
Genre: Animation
Director: Hoyt Yeatman
Cast: Sam Rockwell, Tracy
Morgan, Penelope Cruz,
Nicolas Cage, Jon Favreau,
Bill Nighy
Storyline: A specially
trained squad of guinea
pigs is dispatched to stop
a diabolical billionaire
from taking over the
world
Bottomline: May the force
be with you
Bright and busy with brilliant
wall-to-wall action,
`G-Force' is big budget
badshah, Jerry Bruckheimer's
answer to the
family film. The story is
sweet and funny - who
would not smile at superspy
hamsters saving the
world from a megalomaniac
household appliance
manufacturer who wants
to rule the world by getting
toasters and microwave
ovens to listen to him?
CGI and action
`G-Force' is a seamless
marriage of live action and
CGI. The voice cast is pretty
solid with two Oscar
winners: Penelope Cruz as
the sexy martial arts pro
Juarez and Nicolas Cage as
star-nosed mole Speckles,
the geek of the gang.
The plot is pretty thin.
There is electronics magnate
Saber, who is doing
dastardly deeds.
Under the FBI surveillance
for two years, it is up
to Ben and his four genetically-
engineered guinea
pigs, the G-Force, to unravel
the plot and save the
world.
The four guinea pigs, led
by pugnacious Darwin and
helped by a fly (who is the
`eye' of the team), go ahead
and do just that in fizzy,
dizzy style.
There is also a ferret who
claims not to be a ferret,
three silly mice and a
plump hamster to provide
some more laughs.
At 89 minutes, `G-Force'
provides eye candy, with
the right mix of breathless
excitement, multi-hued
delights and silly laughs.
