Mr. Peabody and Sherman

I take kids' movies with a grain of salt. Yes, they tend to pander and be formulaic but they also have the potential to be clever and fun to watch. While this movie had a few entertaining moments sprinkled on it, overall it was just bad. I found the pretty blonde girl who's always causing problems and needs rescuing to be in particularly poor taste as a plot device. The ludicrous explanations of time travel were unnecessary. This movie is akin to somebody trying to sound smart but exposing their stupidity.

I recently watched this movie, having previously enjoyed a childhood supplemented with Peabody's Improbably History. Needless to say, I was disappointed. At times, the humor was very reminiscent of the classic segments, but were occasionally completely offset by an overabundance of "crude humor." Ultimately, the movie is watching once if you're a fan of the original Bullwinkle segments, but not worth owning unless your tastes in humor intersect strongly with the activities of the bathroom.

Simply brilliant.. The science is actual.. The theory is sound in a hypothetical way and its fun! Its clever and witty, entertaining and educational! I remembered watching it as a child and how it sparked my imagination and they've incorporated new data and relevant discoveries to make it contemporary like the importance of athleticism as well as being nimble of mind... Seriously EXPOSE YOUR KIDS TO THIS THERE IS NO DOWN SIDE ITS APPROPRIATE WITHOUT BEING TOO RISQUÉ OR TOO BASE! j 'lovits'
