A movie that wears it’s heart on it’s sleeve with slow narration from the young actress, so at times it feels like a read along, but that’s less of a complaint than it is just a statement of what the movie is. Ben Schwartz as the father seems like great casting, and Alyson Hannigan as the mother is fantastic, though I feel a weird sort of insult in having one of my teenage crushes playing a mother in a kid’s film.
It’s a good film and it delivers exactly what I was hoping, a squirrel with superpowers and the voice of Sonic The Hedgehog driving him around in a tiny four door car.
Saw this with the kids at the weekend. We all loved it actually, which is unusual for us. But yes, Alyson Hannigan as the mother was a shock here, too. She was my wife’s teenage crush, we were surprised to find out that a) she aged and b) was older than us. 😀
