Barnyard

June 29, 2008

All of the bovines, regardless of their sex, have udders.

The description of the film makes it sound like Animal Farm or something, but really it’s just a weak remake of The Lion King. We already know that Oedekerk is a big Lion King fan – Mu-Shu Fasa!

The only reason that I didn’t turn it off was that it was made by Steve Oedekerk – I figured that maybe it’s got some off-the-wall shit, like Kung Pow did. I was wrong – Barnyard is more in the vein of Ace Ventura or Patch Adams – lowest common denominator type crap.

This movie wasn’t good. My son paid attention to it for a grand total of 20 minutes. I asked him if he liked it and he said yes – but what do three year old know? Did this even come out in the theater? I seriously don’t recall ever hearing of it.

I just realized that the udder thing is a joke. That wacky Steve Oedekerk and his cow jokes.
