The Animal by Tom Brady, Five out of 10

`              The Animal by Tom Brady

Five out of 10

                The Animal is a ridiculous film

Nevertheless, this is also the case with so many productions from Hollywood and elsewhere, with works like:

-          The Avengers, Transformers and so many more

The premise of the film is preposterous:

Marvin aka Rob Schneider is working at the police department, but in an unimportant capacity.

One day, there is an emergency call from a store that is being robbed, only the staff are off…this is a ridiculous comedy, remember?

While his colleagues are at a game, Marvin is the only one who can take the call and try to find help.

He is unable, so he takes action himself.

On the way to the unfolding event, the would be cop has an accident as he tries to avoid an animal.

In addition, he becomes…The Animal.

One better version of this note is ending here.

Since the comedy is not so interesting and humorous, why go on with a long note that does not add much, if anything…

-          Much Ado About Nothing!

-          That’s why

The car of the hero is overturned, not once, not twice, but multiple times and the driver would be dead.

In a serious film.

Moreover, this is not such a motion picture.

The audience is offered an interval wherein the protagonist is acting weird and we do not know the reason.

For instance, in some of the few worthwhile scenes, Marvin is running fast and appears different.

Whereas before the accident, he was mauled and taken down by the dog of his neighbor, things have changed now.

-          The Animal  is an Alpha Male now

-          So there is a new Pack Leader in town

 In addition, not just that.

This outré character is able to run faster than the rest, including a horse rider, who tries hard to pass The Animal.

The galloping horse is no match for this Brute.

Moreover, the public has the explanation, when a doctor comes out of the woods and explains how he cured the hero, destroyed has he had been after the accident.

Only this creature is not in control of his urges:

When he sees an attractive woman on the street, he engages in sex with a mailbox and attacks other animals, stakes, almost anything that tempts him.

Marvin east from the garbage bin and when he is attending a party, he jumps and attacks the cat of the hosts.

As he is fired from the police force, there is another outrageous development, as this combination of seal, with goat, monkey and other species is given the opportunity to save a boy.

In another incident, and then later in the film, Marvin is tempted by a…female goat that is in heat.

This is the kind of humor that is predominant in this silly comedy that actually has only a couple of minutes of honest entertainment.

There are some macaws early on and since I have two that I love, I continued and watched this silly film.

The female protagonist even says about parrots:

-          They have the IQ of a five year old…well, I don’t know about the humor level of those who wrote this script
