Rango is the story of an ordinary house pet with a large imagination. He finally gets to have the adventures he used to act out in his glass cage when he accidentally falls out of his owners vehicle. Rango is a little odd but very funny and charming- rather like Johnny Depp. He’s a pleasure to watch. Even animated.
This film immediately had me within the first few minutes. It was unique in style and hilarious. As the film progressed I got a little restless but ultimately it was a fun, rewarding movie.
A friend and I overheard a couple of parents complaining about some of the content in the film. Now, I don’t have children and I saw Terminator 2 in theaters before I was double-digits so children-friendly content isn’t my strong point.
But I have to admit that some of the imagery seemed a little much for young children.
I have to point out that the humor- that was fantastic as the film started- began to get a little tiresome by the credits.
So good, solid animated film with a few hiccups.
I didn’t have much hope for this film. I associate Nickelodeon films with fart jokes and brainless humor. Glad to hear that that is not necessarily the case.
