. i normally hate pun and but this seem the only appropriate summary for barnyard . i suspect i be not the first . and i be sure many and many comment focus on the idiocy of bull with udder . it certainly bother me right off the bat . but there much more wrong with this movie than a fundamental lack of knowledge about how mammal work . personally and if i be a parent and i would be irritate by the violent turn it take near the end in the showdown with the coyote . ( although for me and it at least inject a little action . ) and from a conventional screen write point of view and you might expect the coyote to play a great role in the conflict ( gee you have a widow cow . maybe her husband be kill by coyote . nope . there a much dumber explanation . ) and what kind of a farm be this . otis vow to protect all the animal from harm and but there certainly seem to be no threat from human . they make reference to the farmer be vegan and but what be he raise pig for . in all child animal story babe and charlotte web and you name it . the reality of farm life be at least touch on . perhaps our friendly farmer be run some sort of rescue shelter ( there be some reference to this and but it never explain . ) but all the farmer get in return be abuse from a horse in a scene that be suppose to be funny and but leave me seriously wonder if he be go to wind up bury in a shallow grave behind the barn . and what the heck be the deal with wild mike . it be like the gimp scene in pulp fiction without the ball gag . add in some truly awful attempt at emotional scene and a nearly complete lack of laugh and and those udder and and you have get the bad kid movie i have see in age . i generally only post to imdb to highlight a film that not so well know not to slam the current # 2 box office hit . but this movie anger me . it be take up space in my local theater and space that could have be use to show something worthwhile . there be plenty of good family entertainment this summer in fact there be at least 2 more kid film play at the same multiplex . but i be not allow to see something like little miss sunshine so viacom can cheat family out of an extra $ 30 . at least i have a free pas . i know that a a 35 year old with no child and this film be not design for me . but there just no excuse for such a lazy and dreadful child film a barnyard in the age of pixar . i be bore by the ice age film and but they certainly do not anger me like barnyard . shark tale be a weak attempt at street hipness and but it have quite a few laugh . for that matter and you could turn on nickelodeon at any time of the day and and see something more entertaining and intelligent which be why they should be ashamed for put their name on this garbage . i be give it a negative and only because pip the mouse be sporadically amusing and and maria bamford have a few amusing line a the farmer wife . well and not the farmer wife . some other farmer . they do not really explain who she be . they do not explain a lot of thing . especially not why sam elliot the ultimate man man have an udder jiggling around down there . creepy .
