Too much of everything
Softwing
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
ShangLuda
Admirable film.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

It is so "adult" in the sense of mature comedy, but you need to know what the references refer to. Those slugs are just adorable, but they're not like real slugs. It's so great, from the French frogs (don't miss the cellphone picture), to the tadpoles in jars who want everything, to the (Irish) siblings dancing on the boat, to all the inhabitants of the sewer city and all the inside jokes. When I first saw Roddy's closet, I knew this would be a spectacular movie. Maybe the best joke was "Millicent Bystander" -- I say it all the time! I wonder why there is no voice information on the DVD box. Were they all ashamed of the film? It's just one laugh after another and the drawings are wonderful! One of the best of all time.

This film turned out to be solidly entertaining. The animation is a blocky Aardman-like, but done using CGI. The results are fine. The story is light, basically just an excuse for an adventure through London's sewers where there's an entire community of creatures living, Dickens style. Ian McKellen is tremendous voicing the villainous Toad. Hugh Jackman and Kate Winslet are dependable as a pair of constantly bickering opposites who ultimately attract. There are some inappropriate Americanisms throughout the production, which otherwise retains a typically British sense of humor. Recommended.Overall 7/10

Aardman Animations, creators of Wallace and Gromit, and Dreamworks computer animation, who created Shrek, bring the two together, might not be as charming as Claymation, but still fun. Basically Roddy St. James (Hugh Jackman) is the "society mouse" who lives in a posh Kesington flat. One day, a sewer rat named Sid (EastEnders' Shane Richie) comes up through the sink, and decides he's hit the jackpot, and after trying to fool him to go into the toilet and get flushed, it is Roddy that gets flushed instead. He has now found himself in the sewer city of Ratropolis, and to try and get back home, he meets scavenger rat Rita (Kate Winslet) who has the faithful boat, the Jammy Dodger. She is being is chased by Whitey (Bill Nighy) and Spike (The Lord of the Rings' Andy Serkis), who work for villain The Toad (Sir Ian McKellen). Originally they were chasing her for what turns out to be a non-valuable gem, but now she has his cable that controls his machine that opens the flood gates, and he plans to drown all during the World Cup match. Rita does manage to get Roddy home, after more chases, including with Le Frog (Jean Reno), but he realises The Toad's plan, and goes back to both save Rita and the rat city, oh, and in the end, he stays, while Sid stays above, and has a new feline friend. Also starring Kathy Burke as Rita's Mum, Poirot's David Suchet as Rita's Dad and Miriam Margolyes as Rita's Grandma. Filled with some good (if a little droll) British humour, most giggles coming from the singing slugs, it is a good film for all the family. It was nominated the BAFTA for Best Animated Feature Film, and it was nominated the National Movie Award for Best Animation. Good!

When, the bad guys are chasing Roddy and Rita, that scene is totally awesome and cool. Even, the boat Was totally awesome and cool because the features of the boat was awesome.Even, the house of Roddy and the town in the sewer is very Beautiful and colorful. Even, the songs of the slugs are beautiful and superb.Even, Sid looks cute and cuddly.Even, Spike and Whitey is also Funny and the house of Rita and her family is also funny. I should really appreciate The creators of "Flushed Away".
