Save your money for something good and enjoyable

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

A good children's movie would be fast moving, with an engrossing story, interesting characters, great animation or effects, and some plot points/one-liners/devices aimed at the parents with "a nudge and a wink".G-Force is fast moving, but the rest of my criteria? Strikes out on all accounts despite trying very hard. It's guinea pig characters are caricatures - the 'street-wise' homeboy voiced by Tracy Morgan, the alluring, mysterious femme fatale voiced by Penelope Cruz, and "Darwin" the all-American hero (in guinea pig form). Throw in all the stereotypical sidekicks and there you have it.The story involves appliances going rogue and destroying the world. The only ones who discovered the plan are the guinea pigs and they spend the rest of the movie proving their worth vs the human FBI agents and the bad guys.The 'adult' humour was dialed way too low to teen level. Hearing a guinea pig say "Shizzle" does not amount to comedy for most adults. The kids probably won't get it either. So who is that for? The pre-teens who'll be avoiding this movie like the plague? Big miss.5/10 for trying so hard.

G-Force was not quite my kind of movie. I watched it because I was babysitting, and the kids wanted to watch this movie, they thought it was a lot of fun.G-Force is about a bunch of guinea pigs who are specially trained to stop a billionaire from taking over the World. That's the whole story, nothing more.There are some funny scenes and I was actually impressed by the animations and special effects, it wasn't all that bad. It is just a shame that the special effects were dimmed down by all the all too silly scenes.The guinea pigs were very cute and fun, and the movie has a lot of action scenes. This movie is great for children's entertainment, children will surely find this movie to be a lot of fun.

Take every movie you've ever seen, watched the trailer for, or even just heard of. Take the good ones. The bad ones. The in-between ones. Mush them all together. Add guinea pigs. Wait--make it...guinea pig spies. Oh, and while your at it, throw a couple top 40s songs in to play at inappropriate moments. There! You have just created something similar to the movie G-Force. This movie had me cracking up laughing, but not at the halfhearted fart jokes. I simply could not believe it was possible to shove so many clichés, pointless allusions, and plain old corniness into one movie. I half expected the "bad guy" (who actually calls himself the bad guy, more corniness) to be Darwin's father. We watched this movie out of Redbox, so we only wasted a dollar on it. That's probably the reason that I could take this horrible movie so lightheartedly. I spent most of the first half in disbelief and most of the second half making fairly accurate guesses of what cliché was going to come next. (Here comes the monologue...here comes the Disney moment).I guess Disney thought that they should stick to stories about fuzzy animals based off of action movies after their success with Bolt. But what really made Bolt, or a lot of the older Disney movies, or the new Pixar movies, successful is that they have heart. G-Force doesn't, just a couple of cute guinea pigs and some random moments that were so stupid they were funny. And that's not enough to save a movie.

I don't have anything against talking animals. I love Disney movies like the rest of them. I'll take talking toys, bugs, bears, penguins, fish, you name it -- but an elite force of special unit guinea pigs in a live action setting is not something that screams fun for the whole family. No doubt that kids will get a kick out of mindless physical humor with chase scenes, explosions and high-tech gadgetry, but considering 2009 was full of terrific animated movies from "Coraline" to "Up" to "Cloudy with a Chance Meatballs," "G-Force" is a complete waste by comparison.A team of genetically enhanced talking guinea pigs works for a secret division of the government. When their plan to stop a mad man (Bill Nighy) goes sour, they're shut down and the guinea pigs end up at a pet store, where planning their escape and still managing to stop the bad guy will be their toughest challenge yet.Written by The Wibberleys ("National Treasure" co-writers), "G-Force" is another being a hero story only with balls of fur and consequently a lot of "that's because I'm small or furry or an animal" jokes. The big mistake, in my opinion, is combining live action and CGI. I think they could've made this film work all animated, but they chose the much cornier route. As a result, the film just looks worse and they cause themselves problems such as why the guinea pigs are talking CGI creatures but the dogs and squirrels in the movie are ordinary dogs. When the film goes "Transformers 2" at the end, it just makes things worse."G-Force" certainly has no lack of action. The plot moves quickly and the film is watchable. It's one thing to be bad and another to be bad and dull. "G-Force" is not dull, but it doesn't earn many more compliments. It's mostly the humor that backfires and attempts to write in subplots of g-pigs wanting to date other g-pigs. I must, however, compliment voice casting. Penelope Cruz, Nic Cage, Sam Rockwell and Tracy Morgan have great, distinctive voices. I thought Rockwell was particularly great at find a style that would really register as the hero of the group. He's the hardest voice to identify if you're an adult who enjoys playing that game in movies that demand no other thought like "G-Force."~Steven CVisit my site at http://moviemusereviews.com
