Flushed Away Opens Today

Hitting theater screens across the States today is the Aardman/Dreamworks film, "Flushed Away."



Currently sitting at a very respectible 76% on Rotten Tomatoes, "Flushed" looks to be a winner in the eyes of the critics. Let's see if that translates into box office sales or if "Flushed" continues the trend of underperforming CG films.

Here are some quotes from the various reviews:

"Though it lacks "Wallace and Grommit's" charm, its mile-a-minute inventiveness is impressive." - David Ansen of Newsweek

"It's better than 90% of the animated fare of the last few years. It's refreshing not to have to qualify the movie's appeal by appending the words, 'for the kids'." - James Berardinelli of ReelViews

"Has more invention and laughs in its first 15 minutes than in Cars and Monster House put together." - Eleanor Ringel Gillespie of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution

"Flushed Away lacks the action-contraption dottiness of a Wallace and Gromit adventure, but it hits its own sweet spot of demented delight." - Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly
