Massawyrm detests G-FORCE!!

Published at:  Jul 24, 2009 9:43:49 AM CDT

Hola all. Massawyrm here.



You know how every once in a while there is a film-within-a-film that is entirely put there to juxtapose the reality that a film you’re watching purports to be true against the highly overblown version of it in this alternate universe? Like the Tori Spelling’s STAB movies in the SCREAM series. Well, G-FORCE is that film. Somehow Jerry Bruckheimer has perfected a method of reaching past the veil of our reality into a hyper-stylized Bayverse and plucked from it a film meant in the clever mind of some writer to be a parody of the movies some dumbass would actually make back over here. Because really, who in their right minds would ever make a fucking movie about talking secret agent guinea pigs? Especially one this awful.



No one in a universe I want to belong to, I’ll tell you that much.



G-FORCE is everything kids love, rolled up into a detestable little package of insipid humor, cheap gags and loud explosions. The notion of actual characters was apparently replaced with stereotypes-by-committee, trying desperately to ensure that each guinea pig had an over the top ethnicity, complete with a number of jokes about it. It wasn’t enough to simply hire a diverse cast to voice the characters – they had to make sure to remind you which ethnicity they are by having Tracy Morgan spit out slang and get excited about his hamster ball being equipped with a slammin’ stereo.



But that’s just the beginning of this alternaverse comedy wonder. I haven’t even mentioned the flatulent guinea pig whose farts get lit in an attempt to escape a hamster cage. Comedy. Gold. Hell, sometimes one joke isn’t enough, and unable to figure out which joke was the funniest (or funny to begin with) they throw four at you in rapid succession, all about the same thing. Because, you know, fuck it. It’s a talking secret agent guinea pig movie.



I hate this thing. I don’t want to write about this thing. Fuck, I don’t even want to believe I actually watched this thing. That can’t have really happened, could it? I didn’t really just watch Zack Galifianakis take a paycheck-bullet most likely meant for David Cross to star opposite a bunch of digital rodents spewing 10 year old catch phrases did I? How the fuck did this thing happen? How the hell did Tracy Morgan not stand up and say “You know, this isn’t really a movie. This is something my character Tracy JORDAN from 30 ROCK would star in. What are you people thinking?” Maybe if he ended it off with “Holla,” they’d understand him more clearly.



Fuck this movie. Fuck this movie. Fuck this movie. I hate this fucking movie.

I know, I know. But Wyrm, what did you expect? It was written by the Wibberly’s, whose much-hated-but-rarely-actually-seen SHAGGY DOG was filled with clever comedy, smart gags and proved to be much better than a Tim Allen Disney film had any right to be. I was kind of hoping this might be something like that – a film much better than the concept lets on. Instead, it is worse. Much, much worse. Doubt me? Go and watch the trailer. Then imagine it stretched out to 90 minutes.



If you have kids clamoring to see this, find a theater showing MOON or THE HANGOVER as well, drop the kids in one theater and then see some of the same actors in something that won’t make you want to take an ice pick to both of your eyes and your eardrums.



Will your kids like it? Yeah probably. It’s talking secret agent guinea pigs lighting farts, spewing catch phrases and driving hamster balls through traffic movie. They’ll probably love the shit out of it and repeat the jokes all the way home. But if you’re reading this, then you have no reason to see it with them. At all.



Until next time friends, smoke ‘em if ya got ‘em.

    A few months before the movie there was some commercial also featuring guinea pigs.

Have not seen Trannsformers 2, but we didn't want to wait stay for 3 hours. So we saw Year One was showing and thought it can't be that bad. Year One is the worst movie ever made. Fucking god awful. I don't care how stupid G-Force was going to be its a million times better then Year One. God what a fucking horrid piece of shit movie that was. We left half way through because it was so bad and we were embarrassed to be there and ask for our money back.

    I mean, how can you actually get to see a film like this unless you're paid to see it. The trailer was just the same Disney fart and ass jokes with things screaming-while-flying-into-the-camera shots and something dancing to a tune that's already dead on the charts, coupled with cultural reference jokes and "smartass" animals. For fuck sake, the trailer was like a giant radioactive warning sign of shit. This stupid excuse - "the kids will love it" is getting so overused. You know what? the kids will forget it the minute they exit this horror-fest, but the parents will have a migraine for hours. I know because I've been through many similar experiences with my kids when they were younger. I see trailers like this one and get a physical memory-reaction - like being reminded of a broken limb or a horrible car accident. Learn to read the warning signs and avoid. Long rant - sorry - but I'm glad you hated it.

    The crowd at AICN does not include a majority of readers who say to themselves, "you know, i'm going to give that G-Force a whirl." We have seen the trailer. And even without the trailer all we need is a description. Super-Agent gerbils save the world. That's a big no. We already have a Vern.

    by failureatthecave

    People say shit like "I've got a 7 year old so I guess I'll have to go see this...." That's fucking bullshit. Last I checked, as the kid's parent, you are the commander of what they do or don't do until they're at least teenagers. Don't take them to see this or whatever shitty, retarded movie is going to help form them into shitty idiots... There've gotta be a couple of hundred movies I can think of that you get on DVD (for less than the price of taking them to see this shite) that would be absolutely fucking brilliant for the kid to watch, and they'll love it, and they'll love you for it... They can stay home, watch Star Wars or whatever, invite their little shithead friends over and you can feed them a healthy lunch instead of some overpriced shit popcorn. Take them to the theater, sure, but wait till there's something decent like Wall-E or whatever... Use your brains, you fucking lazy parents, and don't take your asshole kids to see this or anything like it. They're not the boss of you, YOU'RE the boss of THEM.

    Not hard to believe at all. It's a ripoff of Garfield, Alvin & the Chipmunks, Scooby Doo and all the other talking animal movies. Can you fault Bruckheimer for putting out a product that the target audience (of kids by the way) have responded to in the past? Is it a shitty movie? I have no doubt, but then I wouldn't be roped into watching a kids movie like this, or be let it get to me how bad it was.

    Yes, it is a movie about guinea pigs doing spy stuff the same way Bugs Bunny does human stuff or the toys in Toy Story behave like humans or like that martial arts movie about a Panda had zoo animals doing human kung-fu stuff. Kids movies are based on recylcing formulas and doing them with cute animals and lame jokes. If this movie is somehow worse than every other kids movie about an animal talking and standing up and wearing clothes, then Massa has failed to explain how.

    It is a kid's movie

    by sasson

    When I was a kid, I loved any movie that involved someone getting kicked in the nards--I'm looking at you Monster Squad. This is why Roger Ebert is the best reviewer out there--his reviews of films try to address he target audience. So what, it's not pixar and it should not be expected to be so. I will take my niece to see this and she will probably love it. That's part of being an adult--sometimes you have to do what the kid likes. I absolutely hate going to amusement parks, but if that is where she wants to go, I will go. I don't need a strip club on the premises for uncle time.

    by jimmy_009

    I love Pixar, I appreciate more than most how they make movies for the whole family and not just kids, but I also appreciate movies like this that my toddler can go and see and laugh his ass off. He's a great movie-goer, he doesn't talk or get bored. It's fun to watch him laughing hysterically and I appreciate -any- movie that can do that. Even if I don't enjoy it, I get my enjoyment out of seeing him having a ball. Bring on the Guinea Pig fart jokes.

    Instead of taking your kids to see this turd, take them to a petting zoo with actual guinea pigs and let the family just play with them for 2 hours. Good, clean, fun. You even brighten the day of one of nature's most disposable critters. Shit, I'd pay $10 to do that.

Any self respecting DAD would not be cauht dead taking their sons to this crapfest.

    I'm pretty sure that Jeffrey Dean Morgan is just Javier Bardem acting without an accent and pretending he is someone else--maybe to hide money from creditors. It is kind of like hoe Phil Hartman did all of those movies, like Clear and Present danger and Desperado, and pretended he was a different person just by using a different accent. Phil did not fool me then and Javier is not fooling me now.

    It AMAZES me that Kung Fu Panda managed to escape the evil of kiddie-movie flatulence. What's worse is when they add farts in a trailer to scenes that don't even HAVE them in the movie (like in Burton's Charlie & The Chocolate Factory. The trailer has Augustus Gloop falling into the chocolate river with a stock "Peee-yeeeeeewp!", and then a cut to Johnny Depp saying "Ew!". Not in the movie, thank Christ...). Scatological humor is THE worst thing to happen to family movies in the last 20 years. When did this shit start, anyways, Ren & Stimpy?

    by rogueleader66

    I am not an irresponsible parent and wont just drop my kids in a theater and see something else, even if I wanted to. I know it may have been said not totally seriously, but regardless, I don't leave my kids ANYWHERE by themselves. May as well put a sign on them that says "Kidnap Me". So it seems good or bad, like it or not, I will have to sit through this. But I have seen plenty of kids movies I thought were going to irritate my bowels and they turned out to be not as bad as I had imagined. I look at it differently, it's a kids movie, I am not supposed to like it, so even if I get a tiny bit of enjoyment out of it, that's fine with me.

This shit is made because the idiot parents are too stupid to look for quality stuff; they think if it's not rated R its safe.

ENCOURAGED to imitate porno movie music!!!

    Because that's all this movie is for, 3D visuals, the rest is just there as an excuse to keep your kids and you distracted with 3D shit popping off the screen, taht's what the studio wants, they don't care if you even remember what the hell the movie was about... If you didn't see it in 3D, you missed the point and you're worse off for it because then there's absolutely nothing redeeming to find here... And as an added note, nobody should buy the G Force game for the 3D. It's shitty anaglyphic and you really don't want that, much less fuck up your children's vision by letting them play it. Taking them to this movie is one thing, letting them play the game in 3D is fucking poor parenting and you should be jailed for neglect.

    Remember Bill Cosby?

    by feralangel

    My sister has these CDs of Bill Cosby's classic comedy routines. They were all about childhood, they were truthful, funny as hell and clean as a whistle. She played them for my nieces and nephews, all of them who endure Nickelodeon's fart, snot and poop-infested cartoons every damn day, and they laughed so hard they cried. Kids are better than movie producers seem to think they are. Again, I blame Nick for starting this rotten trend, but also Disney for buying into it. Has anyone seen the TV ads they run for the classic Disney flicks, where they stick in fart jokes and crap *which did not actually occur in the films*? I saw one where the bulldog in Lady and the Tramp belches (never happened) and in 101 Dalmation where a horse farts (also never happened). Man, I wanted to do murder when I saw those. I thought Iger was going to make things better? How can he, when he obviously has no respect for the Disney legacy?

I wasn't expecting much, I set the bar extremely low and it didn't even come close to clearing that. Avoid at all costs!
