Title: G-Force
Post by: UnSub on February 02, 2010, 05:40:30 AM
When you have kids, sometimes you have to watch terrible films. Especially when someone else brings their kids around with terrible films in tow.

"G-Force" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436339/) was not the worst film I saw last week - that honour goes to "Santa Buddies: The Legend of Santa Paws" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1328875/) which, honest to god, has a scene where Santa's reindeers can't pull his sleigh, so he hitches up the puppies and the lead dog's nose turns red and he says, "Yo dawgs, now my nose glows like my bling." and you find yourself weeping that Christopher Lloyd appears in such a monstrosity - but it was without doubt the least imaginative. Think of any movie cliche and catchphrase you can think of in the past 3 years and it appears in "G-Force". It's like the writers threw scripts of whatever they were studying at a correspondence film course into a blender, hit 'frappe' and then made a script out of it. It's a film made up of other films, just with CGI guinea pigs as the lead characters.

"G-Force" is so bad I recommend watching it once just so you can say, "I honestly can't believed a film that ripped off so many catchphrases and stereotypes so badly." The production values are great and the voice cast obviously owed Bruckheimer a favour. Script was excreted by the Wibberleys who have a history of such offal, but I can only hope that this is their nadir because I couldn't deal with something else of theirs being more derivative than this.

This is why my house is a Pixar only household.

Everytime I see this title somewhere I think of the early 80s cartoon. I think the logo for this movie kinda ripped off that cartoon's logo too.

Not an excuse. Pixar is for kids.

They probably did.

Holy fuck, you aren't kidding, I had to endure watching this when I was back home for Christmas.  I was at a family gathering, everybody was in the living room talking and eating, but one of the kids had this on in the background the whole time.  Jesus Christ, eye gougingly bad.  I couldn't even give it MS3TK treatment the dialog was so stupid.  Santa Claus sounded like they literally grabbed a guy off the street and had him reading queue cards off screen that he had never seen before.  I'd have thrown the VHS tape of that at my parents face if they gave me that when I was 5.

Hey, don't be talking about Nooorrm! like that.

I unfortunately have a copy of this in my house thanks to a grandma that didn't bother to ask before buying it for my kid. Thanks grandma!

When i first heard the title of this movie, I was desperately hoping it was going to be a Live Action remake of the old "G-Force" cartoon i watched as a kid (I believe it was the american adaption of the Gatchaman (AKA Battle for the Planets) anime series).  Then I found out it was going to be about CGI CIA Rodents, and cried a little inside.

Watching Santa, I was thinking, "This man is either drunk or sick." Good thing all he had to do was stand and say a line, or sit down and say a line.
