This is way up there on my "would probably have been awesome in 3D" list. Like The Croods, it's eye-poppingly colorful. It does everything that The Internship did in (except for the gratuitous stripper club sequence in the extended version) the first 20 mins. And it's completely nonsensical. There's no rhyme or reason to the foodimals beyond snapping off the next bad pun. But if you like outrageously colorful cartoons and bad puns, this film is for you. Faris is still great, Hader fades a little, and Terry Crews steps in for Mr. T (guess Mr. T had something better to do than reprise this role). Crews is great. It has a portion in San Franjose, or some parody of SF/SJ (like I said, Internship) but that doesn't really play out. The villain is animated so he's crazy wobbly, unsettlingly so. No sword fights. Even T admitted that the film made no sense but we both laughed a few times at the horrid puns, and she was smitten by the cuteness factor, which is dialed to 11.
