No plot, no story, nothing compelling - I won't even get the video. What more needs to be said? I did chuckle once or twice, but wow what an awful movie. I almost left, and if not for my children, I... Full review

This was by far the worst movie I have seen in a long time. I cannot believe this was a MAJOR release by Dreamworks SKG. Nonexistant plot, uninspired acting, and completely not creative! Every 10 minutes I wondered to myself, "How... Full review

I was really looking forward to Madagascar, since the previews seemed quite entertaining. The problem is that all of the funny parts of the movie (very few at best) were shown in the previews! My son liked the movie, but I... Full review

Like so many others, the trailers were enticing. Little did I realize that was the best part of the "movie". My clue should have been there was only 9 people in the theater on a weekend to see it. The characters... Full review

The beginning of Madagascar is sparkling, sharp and witty with fun animal characters that will have you laughing out loud.
Review by Andrew L. Urban: A promising premise, a top voice cast and a studio with an impressive track record sets up expectations that Madagascar just can't fulfil.
