10 Awful Films Star Wars: Force Awakens Actors Want You To Forget
7. Animals United (2010) - Andy Serkis
RottenTomatoes Score: 25% The Plot: Meerkat Billy (James Corden), lion Socrates (Stephen Fry) and all their animal friends are dismayed that the annual flood hasn't arrived, and after discovering that humans have built a dam to supply a nearby leisure resort, set out to bring the dam down. Why It Sucks: Despite being based on an acclaimed 1949 book, Animals United is a largely witless, charmless animated film that's clearly been made on the cheap to boot. The German-made film dubs English voices over for non-German audiences, but the lip sync hasn't been tweaked to accommodate it, and the overall quality of the animation is sub-par at best. All of the cast are phoning in an easy payday here, and who can really blame them? The movie's political message, while well-intended, is ham-fisted and obnoxiously blatant, though at least for Serkis, his role as Charles the Cockerel clearly didn't take up more than a few hours of his time, and it's not like anybody really saw the movie anyway...
Stay at home dad who spends as much time teaching his kids the merits of Martin Scorsese as possible (against the missus' wishes).
