Part of the problem is Samberg, likely brought on board for his daredevil antics in ‘ Hot Rod.’ His style of humor, especially on ‘Saturday Night Live,’ misses a lot more often than it hits. The only part I found remotely clever was the “Axel F” reference, and the rest of the time I could’ve been mistaken for a zombie with my deadpan face. The jokes range from things kindergartners roll their eyes at to punch lines that would make a grown-up groan.

I’m not even going to go into the animation aspect since, to be fair, the budget for the film was less than a quarter that of ‘Kung Fu Panda.’ However, there’s no excuse for the writing being this vanilla, the characters lacking any personality, and a film being billed as a comedy having less laughs than a funeral. It only took me a few minutes into ‘Space Chimps’ to see why the film had gotten such a bad rap. Will Ham III and his gang be able to find a way to save the day and return home safely, or are these ‘Space Chimps’ made of the wrong stuff? What they don’t realize is that a race of peaceful creatures on the planet are in desperate need of help-as a megalomaniac dictator known as Zartog (Jeff Daniels) has commandeered Earth’s technology and is using it to dominate the planet. So the team begins a vigorous training cycle and when they receive the stamp of approval, the crew blasts off in search of adventure. Initially, Ham III isn’t interested one bit, but once he sees the toys he’ll be able to play with and meets the lovely Luna, he thinks it might not be such a bad way to reach for the stars after all. They track down Ham III (Andy Samberg), a circus chimp-cannonball who spends his evenings shooting for the moon-and also happens to be the grandson of the first astronaut chimp launched into orbit back in 1961. Luna (Cheryl Hines), and to fill the third and final slot, NASA deviates from protocol and hatches a scheme to bring in a simian celebrity to capitalize on the publicity.

Heading the mission is the by-the-book Commander Titan (Patrick Warburton), his first officer Lt. Since the scientists are unsure how traveling through the anomalous gateway will affect living subjects, the decision is made to test the waters with their experimental chimp program before risking the lives of human astronauts. Unfortunately, it turns out that this dud isn’t just the worst of 2008, but one of the most catastrophic train wrecks I’ve seen in years.Īfter a NASA probe has been swallowed by a wormhole in outer space and crashes on an unknown alien planet, the agency jumps at the opportunity to recover the equipment and boldly go where no man has gone before. It’s also a safe bet that bringing up the rear in the dead last spot is Fox’s ‘Space Chimps,’ the CGI animated comedy “from one of the primates who brought you Shrek.” I like animation and I’m a fan of science-fiction, so even though I had only heard negative things about the film I still sat on the launch pad with an open mind. E,’ DreamWorks’ ‘ Kung Fu Panda,’ and Disney’s ‘ Bolt’ would be sitting pretty as the top three choices (and probably in that order).Video recordings for the hearing impaired.If we were to write a best-to-worst list of animated films of 2008, it’s a no-brainer that Pixar’s ‘ Wall.Voices: Andy Samberg, Cheryl Hines, Jeff Daniels, Patrick Warburton, Kristen Chenoweth, Stanley Tucci.
