Movie Review: Turbo – A Great Family Movie for the Holidays
Perfect Gift for the Holidays, the Comedy-Adventure Arrives on Blu-ray™
Deluxe Edition and DVD November 12th, 2013.
Laugh it up with the visually stunning, heartfelt comedy-adventure for fans of all ages this holiday season! “Fresh, fast and funny” (Lou Lumenick, New York Post) and garnering four stars from Shawn Edwards with Fox TV, DreamWorks Animation’s TURBO has been hailed by critics as “pure family fun” (Jeff Craig, Sixty Second Preview) receiving outstanding audience reaction and a coveted “A” CinemaScore.
Directed by David Soren and from the team behind family favorite franchises MADAGASCAR and KUNG FU PANDA, TURBO is “a movie both kids AND adults will adore!” (Deidre Behar, Clevver News) and features laugh-out-loud performances from an incredible voice cast of today’s biggest stars: Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Michael Peña, Snoop Dogg, Maya Rudolf, Michelle Rodriguez and Samuel L. Jackson.
My Thoughts: A few days ago we invited over my grand daughter (age 4 1/2) and my god son (age 6 1/2) for a movie viewing party with us. Both of the kids love the various animated movies put out by Dreamworks and I knew both of them would love Turbo!
One of the things I love about this movie and its story line is that its “fresh” and what I mean by that is…it isn’t a story line or movie that has been remade a gazillion times. While I like classic animated movies, I am tired of seeing the same ones over and over and just spun a different way. Frankly, I am getting “princess” out with all of the fairy tale movies.
Turbo is extremely funny…hilarious to be matter of fact about it. The characters are absolutely adorable and the story line is entertaining from start to finish. The graphics/animation with this Dreamworks hit movie is FANTASTIC! All four of us were entertained from start to finish with Turbo and when it was over, the kids watched it again.
On my movie rating scale I give this one a 9 out of 10 stars! I usually don’t rate animated films this high but this one totally rocks and deserves that high rating. It goes on sale today so make sure you pick up a copy for the holidays, it’s perfect for holiday gift-giving!
