A lot of nothingness going on here. Murray hardly acts at all - he mostly sits and stares. Bill Murray is certainly more talented than this venue presents him. There are very few laughs, and not much poignancy. I refuse to believe this was a good film. The pacing was excruciating, and the dialog boring. I can't even say that editing would help, because there was very little substance. The premise was sorta interesting - too bad the actors weren't given better lines and more time to be engaging. I agree with a few others that the only good part was the nudity of Sharon Stone's daughter. What a shame, there isn't a better scene than the almost gratuitous nudity.

Three of us went to the movie, expecting great things. We all have a very good sense of humor, and to say that we were disappointed is an understatement. I am sure the quality of the claymation was good, but we didn't laugh out loud once. Nor did anyone else in the theater. One small child called out "I no like this movie" and three other people left. We all wanted to walk out, but kept thinking that it might get better. I liked the rats a tiny bit, but I can hardly believe the reviews this movie is getting. I always thought I enjoyed British humor, so I cannot believe this is why I didnt like Chicken Run. There were a few clever puns, but big deal. Give me Toy Story any day, show me Babe, but geesh,don't make me suffer through this one again.
