when my six year old fell asleep at the theater during this movie and that was all the confirmation i needed that this film is a stinker. it was boring. the scary parts were boring. the maudlin parts were boring. even the funny parts  with two minor exceptions  were boring. and predictable. and did i mention predictable. examples represent 1) the gruff but loving dad indulging his brat of a kid. 2) the gruff but loving dad buying the farm (while singing a song. ). 3) the brat of a kid deciding to cut and run and but and thanks to his friends and sticking things out because they need him. 4) the brat of a kid winning against incredible odds. 5) and a sassy character voiced by an african american actress. gotta credit these filmmakers for that bit of originality and for perpetuating that stereotype. i did mention two funny bits. in both cases and contributed by minor characters. the mouse bouncing on the farmer pulse was funny. the farm dog falling victim to his doggy weaknesses while vying for leadership was funny. but the rest. painful. someone tried to make a hipness thru committee movie and make it even hipper by making it a computer animated film and and this was the result. and why make the coyotes batman villain dumb by monologuing with their victims and rather than just eating them. oh yeah. no blood needed in this film for kids and already concentrating on mock alcohol consumption and destructive behavior and potty humor. and the fuzzy thing in a box. just what exactly was it. a porcupine. tasmanian devil. what and besides a really stupid plot device to help otis the cow win the mother of all battles. barnyard is a bomb. and i do not even need to mention the udders.
