The Greatest Film Ever!

The Animal was considered to be the most groundbreaking film ever to be made

With a captivating storyline which was not only funny but also caused much emotional conflict between the characters, the animal is now remembered by all as "The Film that changed the movie industry".

Rob Schneider is at his best and his performanced badly deserved an oscar with his role as the misunderstood wannabe cop. He has now been compared with the likes of tom Hanks and Sir Ian McKellen.

The direction and the superior special effects set new standards for the genre, one that has not been beaten yet and is not likely to in the near future.

Really this film needs no introduction and there was great outrage when the film did not win any awards at the oscars.

Are you kidding? The Hot Chick is the worst Rob Schneider film ever. I think he is brilliant and funny as hell but, I not laugh one time in it. This movie kicks ass though, I thought the reverse racism thing was brilliant.

If u take the film for what it is suposed to be it is just good fun with some wacky laughs.

I enjoyed it, u just have to restrain from getting too critical.

The trailer for The Animal, I think, is the funniest trailer I've ever seen. Unfortunately, that's because it covered almost every good scene in the movie. As a fan of Rob Schneider's ability as a comedic character actor, I keep this movie in my DVD collection. I don't know what it was that ruined the movie, but it wasn't Schneider. I think Haskell's acting and the ending comprise its biggest downfalls. Changes in these areas may have placed this movie on par with Deuce Bigalow and The Hot Chick as legitimately funny movies, worthy of being in my collection on merit alone.

In all honesty, I think Tom Hanks is a tool. Hanks is the most over-rated piece of garbage in Hollywood. He is only slightly better than his Apollo 13 castmember, Bill Paxton. For those of you out there who are reading this in brail, that WAS an insult.

Anyway, are there funnier trailers out there? Anybody?

This is the worst film ever made. Ever. Anyone who likes this film is scum. Pure scum. No more, no less. This is Hollywood mediocraty at its worst. If I ever meet Rob Schnider I am going to punch him in the nose.

This film is great if you are retarded, under five years of age and has a lousy sense of humour. A combination of the above helps substantially appreciate this movie's quality. Now go see it!
