Exactly the picker-upper this macho-movie summer needs.
Fans of the more subversive Wallace and Gromit tales are almost bound to be somewhat disappointed by this safer, more mainstream effort.
There are last minute rescues and incredible visuals.
I was ready to fly the coop long before the 82 minutes were up, but if you're in the mood for something offbeat and wacky, Chicken Run may be just your kind of amiably birdbrained entertainment.
Before our disbelieving eyes, a pageant of jeopardy, romance and rescue unfolds.
A witty, action-packed story.
Fab animation from Wallace and Gromit creator.
"Chicken Run's" finale is on par both with "The Great Escape" and the classic Wallace and Gromit ending to "A Close Shave" for rousing excitement and ingenuity. When it comes to clever and fun entertainment with a twist, it's the cock of the walk.
The sophisticated humor of Peter Lord and Nick Park's very funny comedy is more likely to strike a nerve with adults.
The fact that this movie is animated entirely with clay ruined the enjoyment for me while watching this.
Thoroughly endearing family entertainment.
Park's love for all his characters, good and evil, is literally palpable: These characters have been forged of clay, fussed over, posed, photographed over a period of years.
That rare animated film that can easily please all age groups.
A wonderful, spirited family movie that's easily one of the best films of the year.
As far as laughs go, it's slow to take off; and in terms of gags, characters and narrative, it lacks the freshness of some of the earlier films.
I know I've seen a good funny animal movie if I stop eating the animal in real life.
Inventiveness taken to new levels...simply a marvel.
I don't think two minutes went by where I wasn't laughing out loud.
It has intelligence, humor, drama and tragedy, dance numbers, amour and more, any of which will have appeal to someone out there.
It's a wonder to know that each frame of this film was handmade, not orchestrated by a computer.
Something about Nick Park's characters is intrinsically hilarious... Maybe it's those teeth.
A sharp, witty movie that finally answers the age-old question: what do chickens do when you're not looking?
It's hard to make bits of clay flutter like feathers, but somehow they do.
