The friendship between a New York City lion and zebra is tested when fate brings them out to the unforgiving wilderness in this computer-animated DreamWorks feature. Chris Rock does the voice of Marty the Zebra, whose longing to explore beyond his cushy Central Park Zoo boundaries is the impetus that ultimately strands him and his pals on the shores of savage Madagascar. Marty loves the new, edible scenery, but his best friend Alex (voiced by Ben Stiller) the Lion begins to starve since his diet of thick steaks has been cut off, and the rump of his friend starts to look mighty tasty. Their other friends, a hypochondriac giraffe (David Schwimmer) and a sassy hippo (Jada Pinkett Smith), try their best to think of a solution as the call of the wild slowly turns the starving Alex into Marty's worst nightmare. Meanwhile the hilariously self-aggrandizing King of the Ocelots (Sacha Cohen) has a plan to use Marty to repel their own carnivore problem. This kid-oriented comedy stays adult-friendly every step of th... Less

(06/03/2005, p.61-62, Owen Gleiberman): "[A] delightfully wacked new digitally animated comedy....Untamed fun."
|
(08/07/2009, Stephen Holden): "Directed and produced by Abdullah Oguz, BLESS has ravishing cinematography by Mirsad Herovic and a mystical score by Mr. Livaneli that match the novel's feverish, poetic language."

Funny, fun characters, great to look at, colorful

that my son had to go to the bathroom during a good part!

Yes
Over the Memorial Day weekend we decided to venture out to the movies to see the latest from Dreamworks, Madagascar. Surprisingly for an opening weekend of the movie and it being a holiday movie the theatre was only sparcely occupied - but perhaps that is because we picked a 6pm showing to attend...

If I had not just returned 48 hours earlier from three weeks in Turkey, the 2007 film “Mutluluk” (Bliss) would have inspired me to want to go there. Though the skies of an unusually cold spring were generally leaden, I know that the mountains, lakes, and seacoasts of Turkey are very...

Pros
Excellent story, good pacing, developed and balanced characters.
Cons
The broader plot was predictable (but timed well enough to keep things interesting).
Recommended it?
Yes
When ignorance has its roots in meaningless customs that place a misguided sense of honor above human life...it simply is not bliss. That is the premise at work in the 2007 Turkish film Bliss. The United States box office for this film barely reached $40,000 which must have been due to...
