Horton Hears a Who

Finally, a talking animal movie that isn't ridiculous!

When Horton the Elephant finds a speck of dust calling out for help, he knows that he must protect it, despite the disdain of all the other jungle animals. But when the evil kangaroo hires Vlad the Vulture to go get rid of the speck, Horton's journey to put the speck of Whoville in a safe place becomes more dangerous, (and more humorous for us viewers), than he could ever have imagined.

When we went to go see this film, we picked up two friends, (one about nine and the other about twelve), and headed off to the theater. Although the nine-year-old probably laughed more, the twelve-year-old had a really good time watching this. Me? My expectations were low, though I didn't think I would hate it entirely, but once we sat down those two hours just flew by. This movie was really fun to see, even for a fourteen-year-old such as myself, humorous and entertaining. It was a welcome break from Dr. Dolittle.

This movie having no bad words, a good theme for youngsters to learn, and humor that even most parents will enjoy as well as their kids, this is an AWESOME movie.

I officially give this movie the O.A.M.R. of three and a half stars
