Gordy Reviews

I'll keep this seemingly inevitable comparison brief. Whereas Babe is a sweet, enchanting gem of a family film, Gordy for me isn't in the same league, in fact it is on the opposite end of the spectrum. Other than the bright and breezy country and western soundtrack and the fact that Gordy is somewhat adorable, this is rather charmless family fare. Gordy does look rather cheap, not in the scenery, the scenery is nice, but the flat and rushed camera-work does not do it justice. The story is very predictable and never seems to find a direction, the direction is sloppy, the script is tedious and unfunny and a vast majority of the jokes are corny. Add some horrible acting and every barnyard cliché in the book, do we really need the evil boyfriend idea again, and we have a film of low-quality and very little charm, also even for quite a short movie it drags badly. Kids might like it, but to be honest adults might find it an insult to their intelligence. 2/10 Bethany Cox
