This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
... View MoreThis is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
... View MoreIt is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
... View MoreI enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
... View MoreWhen i saw the trailer i thought that it won't be so good, c'mon a dog adopting a child etc. In the beginning i got a little irritated by Peabody's look, But it was alright. The movie was awesome from the beginning till the end. I can't believe what people are saying about this. But for me it was an awesome movie. A DON'T MISS INDEED
... View MoreTo begin with, I was a big fan of Mr. Peabody and Sherman as a child in the 60s and was skeptical about an updated remake and avoided it at the theaters. Usually updated stories from years gone by get ruined by making them current. But I had a chance to see it and was glad I did. I laughed out loud more during this movie than I had in any movie in a long, long time. There's humor for every generation from Baby Boomer to Millennial. I wasn't prepared for how actually intelligent it is. Possible spoiler: There are many little touches that Boomers will recognize and appreciate and laugh at in recognition ("Hey, I'm walking here!", "I'm Spartacus!" etc), and stick around for the very last few frames for a true 'Fractured Fairy Tales" touch. The wit is sharp and humor is surprisingly stronger than the original cartoons. And the music is pretty good, too.
... View MoreMr. Peabody and Sherman are two characters from the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. The show was a modest hit, and lasted from 1959 to 1964. So many years after the show's cancellation, people went on to make films based on the series. These are Boris and Natasha (1992), Dudley Do- Right (1999), The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000), and then Mr. Peabody and Sherman (2014). Sadly, none of these films were successful in the box office. And although Mr. Peabody and Sherman made more money than its budget, the film still created losses for the filmmakers. It's kinda hard to believe how a TV series can become successful but its film adaptations don't do so well in theaters. Perhaps ever since the show got cancelled in 1964, things about it pretty much disappeared from people's minds. And perhaps reception of the show would have a been a lot better had the studio people picked a boy to be that flying grey critter.
... View MoreThe movie Mr. Peabody and Sherman is a children's science fiction movie, with a theme of unconditional love. This very inspirational movie is without doubt, a clear message that any one no matter how small or what kind can be a genius. The movie begins with the introduction of Mr. Peabody explaining his life and his very marvelous achievements throughout it. Then young Sherman enters the movie with the explanation of Mr. Peabody's best invention a time machine. Then they travel in time to the Palace of Versailles in 1789, they attend a dinner party for Queen Marie Antoinette, while trouble is uprising with the people of Paris. Then they go through the many stages of the revolution, during this period Mr. Peabody show his quick thinking and ingenuity when he escapes the fate of the guillotine. At the end of this adventure Mr. Peabody asks the boy about what he learned in this trip. Then they return to the modern day and it is Sherman's first day at school, Mr. Peabody telling Sherman about rules at school and sends him off. At first Sherman makes a good impression in history class, but makes a girl named Penny jealous. This leads to some bulling and in defense Sherman bites her. This calls Mr. Peabody's attention and so does to the Department of Child Safety. This causes tension. Later Mr. Peabody invites the Peterson family (Penny's parents) for a dinner party to settle the matter before The agent comes to inspect the house. Later a temptation forces Sherman to use the Way Back or the time machine, then penny gets engaged to King Tutankhamen and they rescue them, then they to Florence, and many more time traveling mania happens and tension begins to sprout when Sherman finds out that the agent from child safety is trying to take him away from Mr. Peabody. Then they end up in Troy in the Trojan War, after a rescue Mr. Peabody seems to die, but that is not the end.Personally this was and still is a great movie to watch. The whole concept of a dog being a super genius and some fancy scientist intrigues me to watch this. Not only is this movie inspirational but teaches a whole lot about big historical events and how fast the mind can work. I found this a very important key in a children's movie, while in today's society we are hit with a lot of movies that are crammed in with pure nonsense and don't educate the child in an engaging way as this movie does. It is funny, and very engaging not only for children but the whole family as well. I would really recommend it, and it's message to the family viewers of today.
