Mildly recommended. Yes, this animated movie is aimed at kids, but it
has features that many adults will like as well, namely slapstick
subversive comedy that hits its mark two out of three times, and a
best-friends relationship with some real heart to it. Middleditch and
Hart give expressive vocal performances as the two fourth grade friends
whose antics drive the action. Smart, funny, crisp, it has something for
the kid in everyone. After a dry spell that almost killed it, Dreamworks
Animation is quietly finding their marks again.

672/1000

What would have tipped the movie to 673 instead of 672?

Thing is, if you saw it, you'd probably LOL quite a bit. Pretty funny movie.

No, that's the score I give CU on a 1-1000 scale. :)
