Reviews
This was a very entertaining and enjoyable film, filled with funny vignettes and some hilarious jokes and visual gags. Too bad it was all strung together in a weak plot with a bad guy who is non-entity, and surrounded in way too much gratuitous product-placement. The final showdown especially did not make any sense, but it paid off with a surprise and hilarious punchline. The animation is to be commended design-wise and in concept, but of course this kind of art is still in its infancy in the country, therefore we can't expect pristine animation out of the gates. Overall, I really enjoyed it, and the crowd I was watching it with ate it up, so I wish the filmmakers all the best hoping for a better and a stronger follow-up.
