    I think some people something funny in a Wallace & Grommit and just think everything that they do is funny. This movie was not funny--not funny for kids, not funny for the adults. The last 30 minutes crams in some decent and good jokes, but for the most part it was not funny. A theatre of kids hardly laughed at it. Even when my kids left Robots, they talked about it. Not this one. The story was second-rate, and the pacing was S-L-O-W. And we did get the attempted British jokes; they just weren't funny. I guess folks are desperate for a good animated film, but this was nothing more than the Johnny English of animation. Expand

    Very overrated. I went to watch it in a lighthearted mood, ready for entertainment, just to realize in the theater that I didn't like past Wallace & Gromit instances that much either. The script is way too referential, very thin on real 'meat', and the jokes tired and unoriginal. There was hardly anyone laughing in the audience. Sorry, Aardman, but this kinda stinks.

    Annoying, grating, boring. It was like Ocean's 12 all over again.

    I did not like this movie. i almost fell asleep about ten times, and i went at three o'clock in the afternoon. the only funny parts of the movie were Lady Tottington, and the corny references to movies like Frankenstien. the only reason i went was to watch the penguin movie that preseeded it, and i think to should have left after the first ten minutes.

    I took my 3 yr old to this movie. I had already taught him to say 'Come along Gromit, we have windows to wash!' in Wallace-speak. I have been a long time fan of the shorts. We went with high expectations. I believe if this was filmed with live actors it would have received an R rating. Themes of hate, betrayal, classist division and murder run through this offensive animation. This is 'Family/Kids'? How do I explain that the bunnies are crying because they think Wallace is dead? Killing bunnies does seem an appropriate theme for a kid movie. One of the main characters is driven by hate, guns, killing and murder. That the system wrote, approved and filmed this, then marketed it to families is considered state of the art is a telling factor in the degradation of this society. Expand

    Mediocre animated film. No creativity, no magic, no orignality as like Spirited Away or fun entertainment as Finding Nemo. Everything was very predictable, jokes were simple and old, nothing really special about the movie.

    Park and co-helmer Steve Box stay faithful to the cozy core ingredients that made the clay duo's kudo-reaping shorts and Park's previous pic, "Chicken Run," so well loved. "Curse" delivers a wholesome morsel, happily not too cheesy, that families will nibble on as a treat.

    This latest and biggest installment is a whimsical success of a very high order: The pace never lags, the invention is incessant, and it makes you want to have a bite of cheese afterward.
