Oh, the horror! It's the writers who deserve to be sprayed by skunks for giving us this stinker.

ZZZZ......

This review is from: Furry Vengeance [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray) The trailer is about 99 times better then the movie. Felt like a waste of time after watching.

Furry Vengeance is unbearable. (Actually, the bear's performance is pretty good.)

A family Film

This movie was really a kids slap stick comedy. For children around 10and under. It used some very old comedy tricks seen in many othermovies and wore several of them out after using them 3-4 times in themovie. The animals in the movie were very well trained and did theirparts, however it was very obvious when they were animated animals. itis a nice movie to watch but I wouldn't go to the cinema to see it. Iwas very slow to get started and some parts in the movie were stretchedon a little long. However it was definitely a movie to be highlyenjoyed for the much younger audience. I would play this once in awhile on a Friday maybe but not one I remember as one that stands out.Even at the sad bits I didn't really have any connection with thecharacters so I couldn't really sympathise with them.

Brendan Fraser: Human being or cartoon character?

Robyn Daly

What a waste!

What a waste of a talented and versatile actor! Fraser has fattened upfor his role as a very unpleasant character who deserves all thathappens to him, but the broad slapstick and second-rate predictablescript gives Fraser no chance to display the sly wit of the Mummymovies or the subtle emotion of Gods & Monsters. Even Dudley Do-Right was better than this: at least Fraser looked likehe was having a good time, unlike in this sorry excuse for a film. Thisrole smacks of desperation. He must have really, REALLY needed themoney.The CGI is OK but it's not at the top of the tech, and the supportingcast are cardboard cutouts.Give it a miss.

Eco-terrorism

A truly horrible movie from beginning to end. It's only redeeming quality is that kids in the Kindergarten through 3rd grade age range may gets some laughs... Brendan Fraser should have known better. He'd have been better off if The Mummy had killed him.

Sophisticated it isn't, but there are some decent visual gags and Fraser is good fun as the man at war with nature.

A stupid, mean-spirited little movie that ranks down there with the worst in recent memory. Distant memory, too.

Filled with pratfalls, slapstick and toilet humour, this furry nonsense with an eco-friendly message is harmless family fun.

A Raccoon Urinating on Brendan Fraser

My little sister bought it on DVD for like no money, so we watched. Andboth hated it. Features Brendan Fraser being urinated on by a raccoonwhile holding his one fist in his mouth and being beaten with theother. Features Brendan Fraser fat as copulation wearing a bra andcovering himself in tomato feces sauce. The movie could be funny,animals attacking, funny. But it's not. Only good things were Ken Jeongcause he's funny and Brooke Shields cause I'd tap that ass. And theson, Matt Prokop, he's so annoying, I'd stomp his face. You know he'sthe character every new family movie has - the annoying rebellious son.Only he's little too old for that, so it's even more pathetic.

This coarse family film is an insult to sentient families. Purporting to encourage conservation and the love of animals, it's a slight to true environmentalists and, heck, even an affront to animals.

Is it truly that bad?

Furry Vengeance tells the story of animals that are trying to savetheir forest, by making Dan's life miserable. I have read some reviewsabout this movie and have this to say. It's a kids movie! Not CitizenKane. Seriously though, I actually enjoyed this film. It had somegenuinely funny moments in it, The Whak-a-Mole Gag, The Toilet gag, andhad some great one liners. However, a few times, I found myselfthinking, "All right. That's enough." The skunks were funny the firsttime, but not the fourth time. The senile lady didn't add that mucheither. But again, this is a kids movie. Kids I'm sure love this movie.The kids that were in my theater certainly did. I agree that this filmis a mix between, "Home Alone" "Over the Hedge" and "Hoot" but it isnot as bad as people make it out to be. Do you want my advice? If youcan't stand any form of slapstick violence or cute little animals, thenskip it. However, if you enjoy those kinds of films, maybe you shouldcheck out this film, or at the very least rent it when it comes out.Again, not the greatest film ever made, but it's not terrible!

Imagine Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds as a children's comedy, and you have a rough idea of the excruciatingly unfunny Furry Vengeance, which keeps slamming the audience over the head with a single joke.

Not worth watching

I am not going to talk about what happens in this movie. I am going tosay how bad this film is. Furry vengeance is an absolute sh*t feast.The jokes are not funny, the acting is bad, the storyline is terribleand its not even interesting. I watched this film about two years agoand I wasn't happy with this film. And what happened to Brendon Fraser?He was in lots of good films like The Mummy, The Mummy returns andLooney tunes back in action. Now hes in a lot of bad films like TheMummy 3, Dudley do right, Jounrny to the center of the earth and Furryvengeance. So I give this film a Big Fat 0 out of 5. And one thing tothe animals in this film are clearly CGI.

If you only take your children to see movies like Up ... they'll think every film is going to be fantastic. That's not very good training for the disappointments of life, so Furry Vengeance does have one purpose.

It's hard to watch Brendan Fraser do the slapstick required for a role better suited to someone like Jim Carrey or Will Ferrell.

When Nature Terrorizes

According to Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb, and every site with a Critics' avg. score, "Furry Vengeance" is the lowest point in Brendon Fraser's career, and regressed his status to the level of "Encino Man". It's true that he wasn't doing well as of recent, but this is the movie that will severely damage his reputation? For some people, it probably is, and this movie certainly acquires a particular taste. To prove a point, here are some of the movie antics done by the woodland creatures:- a raccoon and a skunk hotwiring and driving an SUV- a weasel building a Rude Goldberg-esque trap to roll a large rock on an unsuspecting vehicle- multiple skunks inexplicably hiding in the same SUV so they can surprise the victim and blow their gasket on him- the same raccoon pulling a plug on an active treadmill while someone's using it, where he will trip and hit a wall- a bear pushing around a porta-potty with a man inside (and inexplicably ripped the guy's pants off), and somehow moved the porta-potty on top of a tree)If those antics made you slap your hands to your face (is that what the cool kids call a 'facepalm'?), then stop reading this review, ignore this movie, huddle up in your nice blanket in front of the TV and watch the surprisingly-good-by-Dreamworks-standards "Over The Hedge" instead.Here's the tale of the furry fiasco. Dan Sanders (Fraser) relocated his wife (Brooke Shields) and angsty teen to a wilderness location to do some construction work for new housing. Later, he was ordered by his Asian boss with an American name, Mr. Lyman (Ken Jeong), to destroy a large forest so the company will build a large suburbia. That posed a serious threat to the habitable beings of the forest who realized this plan, and so all the animals brought FURious malevolence against Dan; cue the hilarity. Oh, and the film has something to do with saving the forest, preserving the wildlife, and whatever. I don't care if people are barking on rescuing trees, I'm here to find entertainment.The film's humor depended entirely on two things: pratfalls and people yelling (Dan Sanders: "MILEY CIRUS!"). Fortunately for this film, I'm a fan of LOUD NOISES, but while the absurd pratfalls get the job done, they did overstayed their welcome after a while. There's also the recurring joke that Dan is the only character who knows that he's being terrorized by territorial furries, and everyone thinks he's bonkers. I got along with this joke at first, but soon I had to wonder if the other characters were simply in denial. At one scene, there's a crow that keeps knocking on Dan's window and he keeps hearing, but his wife must've have her ears blocked if she couldn't hear such an obviously loud noise. The previously-mentioned porta-potty on top of the tree scene was even more baffling, as his family and his constructing crew saw just that; they still don't believe him, but they should at least think of a possibility that there might be shenanigans involved.The cast obviously go to the Looney Tunes school of acting for this movie. Brendon Fraser goes into his usual Fraser-mode, acting nervous and overly-pitchy for most of his lines; whether you find that charming or annoying is up to you. The other cast just goes along with the over-acting camaraderie. I'm not sure what to think of Jeong's performance; sometimes, he bickers in a fake superficial Asian language and I don't know if that's suppose to be insulting. Probably not, since he has the habit in doing this since "Knocked Up".But after all is said and done, I have to admit I actually had a good time with "Furry Vengeance". Yes, this film used the bare basics of comedy, and the vengeance aspect does go on way too long for something so simple like a cry for help, not to mention how insipid the whole arrangement is. But because of how utterly absurd the animals acted, and how over-the-top the acting is, the accumulated ridiculousness made the film mildly-enjoyable. I did glee for some of the antics, and I had a chuckle for one unpredictable scene. It had some amusing characters like the security guy played by Toby Hoss, and at one point, he was as close to acting like Artie that a "Pete & Pete" fan like myself has gotten in a long time. The animals were unrealistic in everything they do and expressed, but they never bothered me, except for the one stupid scene with the animals partying in Dan's house and a porcupine is scratching the record like a DJ; however, that turned out to be a dream sequence, so I let that slide.The film could've been better as a cartoon than live-action, but for what it is, I don't hate it. And I don't see how families are going to like this less than I do, and believe me, there are animal films I hated more than this. If you can accept this exaggerated animal behavior, it can be fun to watch.
