Oh No, This Means Even More Live-Action Pet Movies

When I first saw the ad for this, I thought it was a 30 Rock promo, one of the fake Tracy Jordan movies.

@Lizawithazee: Just you wait, there's an A&C2 coming your way!

As long as it leads to a good, adult adaptation of Grant Morrison's We3, I'll shutup.

There is no way that G-Force is worse than the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. No. Possible. Way.

Somewhere humane society and animal rescue personnel are cursing the studio suits and the day they were born in anticipation of the hastily and thoughtlessly purchased guinea pigs that will be coming their way in the months ahead.

Oh gods, why did you have to remind me of Kangaroo Jack? How am I supposed to have good dreams now? *cries*

I come before you all, a humble mother of one, extremely low standards and no expectation of anything more than seeing my darling child enjoy herself. This was the worst movie I've ever seen and I've seen Motel Hell and Showgirls.

@mina324: The general consensus of the younger set in my family is that these talking guinea pig things are the jam, and need to be seen asap. It's not my cup of tea, since I'm not a furry or in elementary school, but then again neither are a lot of high-brow things for that matter. I sat through Hotel For Dogs with an eight and ten year old on a Sunday spent babysitting; I will no doubt sit through this, and maybe even like the shrill crap.

Taste is subjective, who knew? Even when something is anthropomorphic.

I can't bare to listen to the G-Force commercial. I have to mute it.

Just to clarify, have you seen this shlockfest, Brian, or are you just speculating that it's bad? Not to be bitchy about it, just because something isn't "Up" doesn't mean it can't be entertaining, especially to children. And talking animals make up most kids' movies in general.

If you say Kangaroo Jack, I'm sure somebody else will say Babe or Stuart Little, so it's a no-win conversation.

I didn't see it, nor do I have kids, but between Tracy Morgan, Galifianakis, guinea pigs, live action, talking animals, 3D, the amount of marketing they did on both mainstream and kid's channels (this is the Disney machine, after all, they don't do any promoting half-assed), if this didn't win the box office this weekend (and look at its competition) it would be the epic failure of the summer.
