Fantastic Mr. Fox is a bit of a stretch. ”Good” Mr. Fox…sure, it's a good movie. Or, “Family” Mr. Fox, because it's appropriate for the entire family. Oh, or maybe, “Big Name” Mr. Fox since George Clooney, Meryl Streep and a star-studded cast do the voiceovers…but Fantastic Mr. Fox, um…not so much.
Fantastic Mr. Fox is based on the children’s book titled the same. Mr Fox, voiced by George Clooney, is the Robin Hood of animals. He steals from the farmers to provide for animals less fortunate. The farmers decide to band together and set a trap for Mr. Fox, which affects him, his family and others.
It’s rated PG for action, smoking and slang humor. Instead of using foul language the animals say, “What the cuss?” Granted you get to pick the “cuss” word that applies. You could choose, “What the heck?”, but I must admit that wasn’t the first word that came to my mind. So, parents be prepared for the possibility of your child responding to your request or directions with, “What the cuss?” mimicking the movie. Just a little heads up.
As a family we agreed this movie is worthy of a JOG, which means it’s GOOD, but not fantastic.
