Certainly reeks like something produced from a squatting position.
Top CriticThe Animal is never more nor less than stupid, but stupid in ways that deliver goofiness rather than rampant humiliation.
Let's hear it for stupendously dumb screen writing.
Frequently it becomes boring.
No classic but far less offensive than the witless dross like See Spot Run that kids have endured on their time off.
It's a great yawning void where Rob Schneider can hump a mail box and attempt to seduce a goat.
While there's no doubt that The Animal will make you laugh, it's not the kind of laughter that outweighs the missing $10 in your pocket.
