Kick It

Let me say, I am a 22 year old male...

For starters, I believe the issue here is NOT with the movie, rather the label "children's movie" seemingly associated with it. I am a 22 year old male who, well I'll just say it, I'm not too different from the pig in the movie (who cracked me up, by the way! That bee thing was too much; I was dying!) Regardless, the animation is tight: a bit grainy in some areas and the lighting was questionable at times (I think it could have been brighter.) The voices were cast perfectly (Danny Glover is the MAN!), the movie was nonstop funny (for a guy like me) and I can't say a single bad thing about this, except don't take your kids!
