Buckle up for thrilling edge-of-your-seat action and laugh-out-loud fun in Disney’s family comedy adventure G-Force.

But these next-generation action heroes — Darwin, loyal team leader; Blaster, weapons expert with attitude to spare; Juarez, drop-dead gorgeous martial arts diva; and tag-along Hurley — won’t be stopped. Armed with the latest in high-tech spy equipment, and with the F.B.I. on their tails, the fur flies as they race against the clock to save the world. From the producer of the Pirates Of The Caribbean trilogy and National Treasure, and filled with high-octane action, daredevil stunts, cutting-edge special effects and outrageous comedy, G-Force is fantastic fun for the whole family.Where to Buy

If Jerry Bruckheimer's name is attached, you know you are in for a treat. The biggest producer in Hollywood, and probably the only one of his trade known by name, has brought us another hit.
G-Force is tons of fun for kids and parents alike. It has the visual spark and humor that youngsters will enjoy, and a very innovative plot that adults will marvel over. Best of all, it's clean enough for the whole family.
If you've read one or two of my reviews, then you are probably familiar with my distaste for computer graphics being abused. The friendly rodents in G-Force are prime examples of computer generated images (CGI) put to their best use. These are characters worthy of CGI animation, rather than puppets or mechanical props.
Sam Rockwell leads a team of genetically altered guinea-pigs as the voice of Darwin. Penelope Cruz is Juarez, Tracy Morgan is Blaster and Nicolas Cage is hilarious as a mole named Speckles. It's tough, but if you listen closely you can hear Cage's voice in there somewhere.
Zach Galifianakis plays a governmental scientist named Ben. It was a shocker to see him here, I'll admit, but he's brilliant and plays his character straight.
Ben is in charge of a secret government program known as `G-Force.' He has personally trained these three guinea-pigs and Speckles in the art of secret spy tactics. When `G-Force' isn't being taken seriously by officials, Ben executes an unauthorized mission to show them what `G-Force' is capable of.
The team discovers that nasty criminal lord Leonard Saber (Bill Nighy) has plans for world domination via a dangerous weapon. `Leonard Saber', now that's a name for a villain! They quickly take action to uncover his secret, but somehow their incriminating data has been erased. Now they face the threat of being shut down completely.
Before Ben's supervisors are able to capture the little fury clan, they outsmart them with some wild trickery and escape. Working together, they must find a way to fold Saber's evil plot, before the whole world falls victim to his madness.
On their journey they meet up with a few other cuddly characters voiced by Jon Favreau and Steve Buscemi. Could you ask for more from a film of this genre?

G-Force is a great movie, I highly recommend it, but wait for a better DVD Treatment.
Allow lots and lots and lots of time to get the movie started.
UOPs (User Operation Prohibition) are enabled on this DVD meaning that you cannot skip over many parts of the DVD and are FORCED to watch things you have no interest in.
While it is easy to purchse a DVD player that overrides UOPs, there are no Blu-ray players that do this YET.
Avoid this presentation of the movie. When a later one is released that is not hostile to the viewer, buy it only then.

Wasn't running out to the theaters when this came out but when the kids finally saw it they really enjoyed it. Even my youngest, who doesn't get "into" watching full length films wanted to watch it over again. That's just something that he does not do. For adults it's just neat to see how it all plays out and there are some pretty good laughs in it as well.

There are some kid's movies that are funny on both a kid and adult level (think Shrek). This movie, which is cute and occasionally funny, will mostly appeal to kids. The digital version is a nice bonus.
