It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
I did watch this film in a group of 7 people, and we laughed our butts off. This movie has a very black humor - often even a gory humor. Don't show this movie to your kids. It is computer-animated just like Pixar movies, but is full of violence, sex, political incorrectness and even drugs glorification.As a comedy movie, this movie totally achieved it's goal. We as a group have been amused totally. But I am not sure if I would have laughed watching this movie alone. I might have been too angered by all the drug glorification and the bad animations. Because those really sucked in my opinion. Of course, they had a way smaller budget than Pixar, but the lack of detail, and the bad character movements remembered me of animations from the 20th century. This movie could have been so much better if they would have used drawn animations. Story, dubs, conversations have been on a pretty good level, which saved the movie from a bad rating. 5 points: Which means, good, but not great.
I would be wasting my time and breath on explaining the trouble with critic reviews. This film was described as "insufficiently funny" -- I am not sure why it is listed as a comedy, but it is certainly not one. With that said; this movie is FANTASTIC! It has funny moments in the sick and twisted fashion of life handing you lemons, however, it is beautifully and deliciously dark and twisted. VERY DARK, VERY WELL WRITTEN AND DIRECTED. Is this film for kids? NO. Is this film for teenagers, adults, and fans of good movies? YES! I hope this film finds it's English speaking market. I think the fans will love this film and I that one day it will reach the cult status it deserves. Great job!!
Isn't it annoying how film reviewers describe unusual films often as (insert film title here) on drugs? So LIFE OF BRIAN is THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD on dope, MEET THE FEEBLES is MUPPETS on acid, and perhaps JAWS once was FLIPPER on steroids. Having said that, FREE JIMMY literally is DUMBO on speed. No, really: Jimmy is a circus elephant that's kept quiet with downers and pushed with uppers for the show. And that old pachyderm is wanted by many groups. Smalltime crooks want to retrieve heroin sewn under the animal's skin, the Lappland mafia wants the same, militant animal activists want to free the tortured beast, and drunk Swedish game hunters look for anything as big as a moose to shoot in the Scandinavian outbacks. Doesn't sound like your run-off-the-mill blockbuster, and it isn't. FREE JIMMY is a CG-animated Norwegian film, skillfully voiced by Woody Harrelson, Kyle McLachlan, Samantha Morton, Simon Pegg, Jim Broadbent and others. It's wickedly non-pc, with a number of hilarious scenes, and sometimes reminds one of FRITZ THE CAT with the sex and suffering animals shown. It works as a FREE WILLY spoof, not sparing any of Jimmy's pursuers from scoff and mockery. It's not as insanely funny as THE FEEBLES were, but a good nasty laugh nonetheless. 7/10
Really guys. have watched a lot of movies in my life but, hell, this is probably the worse ever, I don't know how anybody can rate this because it is off the scale, apart of the crummy story line and the problems with continuity( the seen where the mobsters crash the truck an lose the the elephant, the bags are swapped with the drugs, see the following scene(to name a few)) I understand now why the movie took so long, its the worse ever...i can't even compare the movie to anything els it is so bad... I think the problem lies with the low focus of movie creators and directors that is running out of ideas, trying to entertain people, giving animators a bad name globally, detail are good but how can you put your name to anything like this, what is the purpose of this movie, if there is any...If you what to waist your money and have a low self-a-steam this is the movie for you...good luck
