Review
This is the first film covered of the 2000s, a decade that has just passed us by recently. The film is a wacky, but fine comedy with animation and live action mixed in very well. The cartoon characters are voiced well, with decent acting from Fraser and crazier acting by Martin. It's a zany, but cool film worth all the comedy, action, drama, spyness, and more all into a 90 minute film that entertains even if it may have been overshadowed by Elf, Matrix Revolutions, and *sighs* Cat in the Hat (#210). I'd say it's an underrated gem, but you'll have to check it out to see for yourself. For me, it's successful.
Overall, I give it 8 out of 10 stars.
