Family movie night typically includes a high dose of CGI created characters full of humor and the latest entry in the Ice Age franchise does not disappoint. This chapter in the daily lives of our favorite prehistoric creatures, Diego the saber-toothed cat, Manny the wise Woolly Mammoth and Sid the unexplainable sloth is aligned with a true star studded cast this go around. Celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Queen Latifah, Wanda Sykes, Niki Minaj, Drake, Keke Palmer and Peter Dinklage all contribute their voice talents to expand this ensemble cast.
Squint, our beloved prehistoric squirrel has once again caused some worldly trouble chasing his beloved acorn. This time, he has caused the major divide that created the seven different continents. Truly hilarious in Squint form, but his true destructive masterpiece occurs at the close of the movie. Manny is now separated from the loves of his life, his wife Ellie and daughter Peaches. He is determined to get back to them and is, of course, aided by his allies Sid and Diego. They meet challenges along the way, but in the end all is well (it's a kids' movie remember). There are true laugh out loud moments and it is a true crowd pleaser.
I give it a 7 out of 10.
Next up is "Contagion."
