Film critic Michael Medved minces no words about the movie “Happy Feet“:
In short, ?Happy Feet? comprises a strikingly downbeat evening (or
afternoon) at the multiplex ? an appalling waste of both time and money
for patrons who will expect a far more cheerful,
cold-climate-but-warm-hearted experience. The last time a major studio
launched a comparably misleading ad campaign, they tried to sell Clint
Eastwood?s ?Million Dollar Baby? as a Rocky-in-sports-bra/noble
underdog boxing movie ? deliberately hiding its intense assisted
suicide theme. For ?Happy Feet,? they seem to hide the movie?s darker,
dysfunctional messages and to ignore its questionable elements for
innocent kids.
Read the whole thing before taking the kiddies to the multiplex.
