Furry Vengeance is a collection of feeble jokes in the service of green themes. Sustainability never looked so stupid.
Furry Vengeance is billed as a comedy, but I doubt it'll make you laugh. It might, however, cause you to weep for Brendan Fraser.
The paradox here is that the message of respect for animal life is outweighed by the lack of respect for human beings.
Furry Vengeance is unbearable. (Actually, the bear's performance is pretty good.)
Even the obligatory blooper reel that runs during the closing credits is painful in its desperation to generate laughs.
Imagine Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds as a children's comedy, and you have a rough idea of the excruciatingly unfunny Furry Vengeance, which keeps slamming the audience over the head with a single joke.
Here is a film that doesn't just scrape the bottom of the barrel, it demands that you lick it.
Almost as much of a relief as making it through to the end is realising earlier on that none of the creatures will be talking for the duration of the picture. This reduces the annoyance factor considerably for anyone over the age of nine.
Filled with pratfalls, slapstick and toilet humour, this furry nonsense with an eco-friendly message is harmless family fun.
If there's an award for taking a great idea and strangling it to death with mediocre execution, this should get it.
Is there really such a paucity of live-action family films on offer that Furry Vengeance needs a release at all?
Oh, the horror! It's the writers who deserve to be sprayed by skunks for giving us this stinker.

Fraser's career may be dying hard with this vengeance...
Fraser merece créditos pelo esforço e por não temer o ridículo. Por outro lado, isto não é desculpa para a atrocidade representada por este filme racista, mal dirigido e sem a menor graça.
People often ask reviewers to choose the worst film of the year so far. At last I have a cast-iron candidate.
A feeble family comedy that really tests your patience.
Even by the low standards of live action funny animal movies, Furry Vengeance is a pretty bad film, the sort of low gag rate family flick that aims for generic suitable-for-all fun and satisfies no-one in the process.
Seemingly written to the tastes of underachieving five-year-olds, director Roger Kumble ("Cruel Intentions") is hamstrung to create an even mildly entertaining children's comedy.
There is an environmental message delivered along with the goofy mayhem involved in catching the fuzzy culprits. But fair warning: once inside the theater, the audience is trapped.
One of those sad little movies upstaged by its own vastly superior trailer.
Shields is not a natural comic performer, to say the least. Her face has the comic mobility and expressiveness of an Easter Island statue.
