Madagascar

Rachel and I went to the $5 (gets you the show, popcorn, and drink!) theatre here in Montgomery this past weekend and saw the Dreamworks pictures digitally animated movie, Madagascar. It was one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. Chris Rock (who I find unfunny in his comedy routines) was hilarious as the zebra. Ben Stiller (who cracks me to peices) was great as the lion. Jada Pinket (who I was astonished to hear as the voice of the Hippo) was passable. David Schwimmer made for a fairly funny hypochodriac giraffe, but I'm not especially fond of him as an actor/commedian. In any case, it was roll on the floor funny in many parts. The scenes between Rock and Stiller cracked me up the most. Although, there were some scenes with Cedric the Entertainer as a lemur that made me laugh as well. Andy Richter was flawless as a militant penguin, too. There were some expected parody scenes, but they were funny enough to keep the adult movie-goers laughing and interested. Overall, a funny movie. Very clean, too. I recommend it for those with small children.
