Humans are out to destroy the forest in the name of progress, but the animals that live there won't go out without a fight. We've seen it before in films like Over the Hedge, but this time it's a green, eco-friendly company versus a very organized group of animals under the leadership of a clever raccoon. Dan (Brendan Fraser) is the project manager who has moved his family from Chicago to the middle of an Oregon forest to live on-site in the community's model home. His wife Tammy (Brooke Shields) and son Tyler (Matt Prokop) aren't particularly happy about the move, but how bad can it be for one year? When unforeseen obstacles like an inconveniently located beaver dam threaten to slow progress and put the project over budget, Dan's commitment to eco-friendly methods is tested and his son dubs him a hypocrite. The animals start fighting back in a very organized, conniving way, but all Tammy sees is that Dan is beginning to go a little bit crazy. When phase 2 of the development is unveiled and the opportunity to head up the project, along with a considerable raise, is presented to Dan, he accepts without regard for the forest animals or his family. After suffering everything from a wet crotch resulting from a chewed sprinkler line to repeated skunk sprayings, a run-in with a swarm of bees, and an encounter with an insistently pecking crow that almost gets him killed, Dan begins to reconsider what's really important in life. This basic plot has been the basis of many similar movies, some good, some bad, but Furry Vengeance is such a predictable, superficial gag-fest that it quickly becomes more tiresome than funny--trite doesn't really even begin to describe it. (Ages 7 and older with parental guidance due to some mildly rude humor.) --Tami Horiuchi

Product Description

Sometimes, four legs are better than two. Dan (Brendan Fraser, The Mummy franchise) just moved his wife and son to the woods to take a new job with a supposedly eco-friendly housing development. But the fur and Dan's temper is sure to fly when the local critters learn of the bleak plans for their forest home and stop at nothing to halt construction. Brooke Shields (TV's Lipstick Jungle ), Matt Prokop (High School Musical 3: Senior Year), Ken Jeong (Knocked Up) and Angela Kinsey (TV's The Office ) co-star in this comedy for the whole family.

1.0 out of 5 stars My Friend Said 1 Star For This Movie is Unfair - I Watched It Again, It's Still 1 Star, And My Friend Won't Speak To Me November 2, 2010

By Rhonda Poynter

So, my friend has a review on here, too, and she felt that my original review was too short and not explanatory enough as to why I hated this movie, and my kid didn't think all that much of it. I said, Well, we'll watch it again with the five year old I'm sitting, and I'll get back to you. I'm back, and here are some of the problems with this movie - and I am not writing it as to what I like or dislike as an adult, I am writing about it as a parent. Big difference. Firstly, this is so badly written, and it makes the fatal mistake of kids' movies - as far as I am concerned - of making the characters and even the animals if not flat out mean, as characters you won't really care about. The animals are all very generic - there's a raccoon, a skunk, a bear and alot of birds with gastric difficulties, and they go after Brendon Fraser's character, Dan, because he works for a company that is going to take them off their preserve. The movie opens with the animals - live action, by the way, and they don't talk like in most films along this vein -, running a boorish, cigar smoking loudmouth over a cliff, car and all. The five year old watching this with my son and I the second time never cracked a smile, and asked about ten minutes later, "Did the guy in the car get out okay?" Either make it cartoonish humor, like "Roger Rabbitt" did, showing that the guy suffered a couple of lumps on the head, etc., or don't put it in. Okay, the movie then goes on for ninety minutes about these animals making Brendon's life miserable; they bang on his window all night, lock him in an outhouse, etc. etc., and it is greatly the fault of the writers, but none of it's funny. Brendon is a jerk, his son and wife are borderline cardboard, and everyone else in the movie is, yes, now the word 'mean' works. Even a young girl, thrown into the script because there was nothing else to come up with, is a smart-mouth for no discernable reason, and I'm lookin' at the clock, it's only halfway over, and neither my kid nor Heather are laughing. Other reviewers note the 'cheap' look - it's a right on the money description, and the other problem is that nothing seems to follow the thread of the movie from beginning to end. There's a couple of thought balloons dropped in over the animals' heads, and then that's it. I think that this would have been so much better had the animals spoke (but then again, they talked up a storm in MARMADUKE and I didn't care for that one, either), or even parodied their own behavior, again, like Roger Rabbitt. The only time both kids laughed was at the dream scene, and it was cute, clever and - about forty seconds long. And so, that's why I gave this movie one star, and if I didn't make that clear in my first review, my apologies. But I stand by that first review as a parent, and I didn't like the snippiness of the characters, the fact that everybody was either already a jerk or on their ways to being jerks, and I didn't like the fact that it didn't make it's target audience - little kids - laugh. At the very end of the movie, after the words "The End" are on the screen, there's a short clip of an owl getting his fortune told (Don't ask). The owl listens and then voices his opinion of the reading, in a human voice - Heather looked up at me and said, "Now why didn't they make all the other animals talk? That would have been funny!" Exactly. Now, Amy, will you pleeeaassse Facebook me?????

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Family Fun!!! May 12, 2010

By Pumpkin Man

Format:DVD

I thought this movie was cute and perfect to watch with your kids. I honestly don't know why it has such low ratings. It's very funny. Brendan Fraser stars as a real estate developer named Dan Sanders who is planning to tear down the forest and build a mall. The animals of the forest soon decide to take matters into their own paws and make Dan's life miserable, until he realizes what they want. Dan's wife, Tammy doesn't believe him about the animals, and insists that he gets therapy. During an eco friendly fair, the animals will have their revenge against the man who is making Dan destroy the forest. If you love comedies, and children's movies, you'll love FURRY VENGEANCE!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just enjoy it. May 9, 2010

You buy your ticket. You park your logic and adult brain at the door. As you enter, you pull your 6th grade humor
back from the netherlands of childhood. And you just go with the absurdness of it all. And laugh. And remember that if animals could, they would. Enjoy.
