Since I was such a fan of the first Ice Age, I was extremely excited to see what they would do for the second one. Though, I have to admit I was a little nervous about some of the cast that joined for this project, I was still hopeful.
As with many of this years films, I was completely disappointed. First off, I was horrified at the forced dirty humour. They took every opportunity to make every fart joke, and play on words involving a swear as possible. Now, I am about as far from conservative as you can get, but I always feel that when movies start forcing dirty jokes, then they really have just lazily given up trying.
Along with disappointing attempts at humour, there were the obnoxious performances by Sean William Scott and Josh Peck as the two opossums. And then there was Queen Latifa, who voiced a female mammoth who thinks she's an opossum. I bet you can just see the wacky antics unfolding (and procreation jokes, seeing as how Manny- Ray Ramono- thinks she's they're the last two mammoths on Earth.)
The films only saving grace was the always lovable Scrat. Doing the same old Scrat-chases-acorn skit, he never failed to make us (the audience) crack up hysterically.
Scrat's Looney-Toon-esque scenes are the ONLY reason that you should see this movie. The rest of it is pitiful. Children may or may not find it amusing, but as far as the adult opinion, this is one animated film you can skip.
Overall Grade: C
