G-Force

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has been making a name for himself as the producer of big budget action oriented films. Lately though he has been branching out. Earlier in the year we saw his attempt at the chick flick with 'Confessions Of A Shopaholic'. Now we get his attempt at a kids films with 'G-Force'.
When you hear the plot of this film you can hear people's eyes rolling back in their head. You can see it appealing only to people under 10 years of age. Once you see the film you know this is true. It may come a suprise to people that I didn't totally hate this film . That's not to say it is perfect but it was not completely aweful. As I said it is made for children and so its is not intended for adults. I know most films attempt to make them enjoyable for adults because they are the ones taking the kids along. But this film does not really do that. The one thing that I really hated about the film was the use of puns. The writers of the film, The Wibberleys seem to think that the high point of comedy is a pun one-liner. Don't get me wrong a pun can be very funny but there comes a point when it just gets too much. There are so many of them it becomes rediculous. Then there is the blatently obvious rip-off of 'Transformers'. Anyone can see this is an attempt to make a kids version of 'Transformers'. That was the funniest part of the film.
The actors in this film are pretty much non-existant. I'm not sure what blackmail Jerry had to do to bet Bill Nighy in this film but it seemed to work. It looks like it was done for the money. Zach Galifianakis I think did this before his success in 'The Hangover' so he can be excused. He is pretty good though and is able to prove he does not just play funny idiot characters. The voice cast is very good. The highlight being Nic Cage as the mole. He uses a very goofy voice which I really enjoyed.
Not a completely terribly bad film that you may expect. But not the greatest kids film. Some adults may find it ok but generally bad.
