OWN IT: This means we believe this is the cream of the crop. Buy it if it's out and go pay to see it if it's not.
RENT IT: This means we believe this product does have merit but is not worth owning, go and buy it if it's your thing, and borrow it or catch it when it hits the video store
TRASH IT: Crap, only the most die-hard fans of the series or genre can find value in it, for the rest of us steer clear.

I liked this movie alot more than I thought that I would. Don't get me wrong, It's exactly what you think it is, the plot if fun but nothing to brag about. But the character design, texturing, and character development is miles above what I was thinking it would be. Rhino the hamster and Mittens the cat are supurb! With their cynical and overly hyper additudes you'll be laughing the whole time. At this point it's been out of the theater long enough to come on to DVD. I would def. suggest the rental. The only thing that struck me as a fault of the film was Hanna Montana as the voice actress for Penny (main girl.) Not that I'm against her personally, she's just not a good voice actress, very flat dialouge. That and I'm mainly against using big name actors in animated features just because you want the parents to come out. Use professional voice actors! they exist for a reason!
