"The Animal" is a cute, light-hearted, tale with a couple of chuckles thrown in that make this one just good enough to pass. Colleen Haskell's debut perfromance is disappointing and probably won't help her very much in attempting to launch a... Full review

I thought Rob Schneider did a really good job! He's always funny in what he does. He plays Marvin Mange, who is very weak. He wants to be a cop like his dad, but he can never pass the obstacle course.... Full review

Actually the story of this movie is very ridiculous and not logical. But Rob Schneider have a great performance in this movie. I think only Rob Schneider can handle the role like this. I can't imagine what's the effect if the... Full review

Still, on some level a film like The Animal is undeniably satisfying: through its naked reliance on formula, it exposes the primal impulses at the heart of all effective comedy (and drama).
Perhaps they watched The Island of Dr. Moreau one too many times and thought it would make a good comedy.

Overall, I found like humor in The Animal , but I didn't think the film was terrible.
Actually, little about Animal seems funny.
The Animal enjoyed a natural palette that came across well.
The film took in a modest

It isn't a good movie
I did laugh in the early parts of the film, but it seemed to lose momentum as it went along.
It seemed to me there isn't enough joy in the film
These conflicting viewpoints battle throughout the movie without resolution.

From a technical point of view, "The Animal" is fairly visually impressive.....Animal lovers will not enjoy "The Animal", let alone anyone older than the teenage market the Happy Madison production studio's low-brow humor aims for.....the best part of the film.....ties in excellently with the climax -....The only intelligent (and appreciated) humor comes from Marvin's black friend who is angry at the world for treating him with "reverse-racism", a recurring gag.... ...
