Let's Hope Your Kids aren't Curious: Curious George lends to be a bore


Let me start by saying that the only reason I saw this was because I was babysitting, and that is what the girl I was babysitting wanted to see. That being said, let's get on with the review.

The character of Curious George has long been loved in the hearts of children. I remember them being some of the first books I was able to read. The story of the film, Curious George, was cute; very suitable for small children five and under. I can't say that I wouldn't enjoy this if I were 3 (although even at the age of 3, I may have found it too cutesy and boring), but definately as an adult this movie was NOT enjoyable.

First of all, Drew Barrymore should not be put in any children's movie for fear her acting may scare the kids in the audience. Even animated, she sent chills up and down my spine.

The second thing that was obnoxious was the animation. I'm not one hundred percent sure how they got it to look like that, but it was quite the annoyance during the course of the movie.

Like I said before, this movie was cute. If you have small children, it's definately worth taking them (although you may be bored slightly.) If, however, you are above the age of five, do not waste your time.

Overall Grade: B (in respect to pre-schoolers)
