Rango

If you even have a television with any type of reception (cable, satellite, or digital antenna), there is no way you've been immune to the ads for the not-so-fuzzy, CGI animated, celebrity voiced 'Rango'. Its was a cute, not-so-cuddly adventure of a pet lizard, who gets stranded in the desert. After he stumbles upon the humble townsfolk of 'Dirt', his clumsy antics begin a series of events that wind up making him Sheriff. He goes on to learn that the town is going through a desperate drought and on top of it all, somebody stole the last of the water from the bank!

Aside from Johnny Depp, the voice behind Rango, there's a slightly lesser know cast of supporting actors. Ned Beatty, Isla Fisher, and Abigail Breslin just to name a few, and if you don't know those, you probably won't recognize anybody else either. Visually, the movie looked great! I may have preferred it in 3D since CGI lends itself to do a bit more with scenery and special effects than live action movies. Although I'm not down with the presence of adult jokes in kids movies (the trailing off "son of a...", and lots of "damn you", "you go to hell") I've heard worse on public transportation and the movie did at least make up for it with the assortment of desert critters, and truly playful 'out west' banter.

I say take the kids and enjoy, cause its much easier to sit through than Gnomeo...
