If you're in the mood to laugh yourself silly,
Wallace & Gromit's "Curse of the Were-Rabbit" is a jolly
good show for the whole family.
It's about a dimwitted inventor named Wallace
and his sidekick dog, Gromit, coming up with a solution to the flurry
of rabbits destroying the community's vegetable gardens. If something
isn't done quickly, the townspeople will have nothing to show for at
the local Giant Vegetable Competition.
As a quick fix, Wallace and Gromit develop the
Bun-Vac 6000, a contraption that enables them to remove rabbits via
remote control as they patrol the neighborhood in their van. What
initially seems like a good idea backfires when Wallace hooks the Bun-Vac
up to his latest invention, the Mind-O-Matic, hoping to brainwash the
rabbits into not wanting to eat vegetables at all. The experiment
results in a giant "were-rabbit" -- seen in classic horror
movie-style only as a shadow and footprints at first -- starts
ravaging the town's gardens, turning the locals into a rowdy mob.
What's fun about "Curse of the
Were-Rabbit" is that its nutty, offbeat humor is innocent and
good-natured. Adults will understand it on a deeper level than
children. For instance, the Were Rabbit--half-man,
half-hare--piggybacks off King Kong and old werewolf movies, but
children will just see it as wacky and fun.
Bottom line: "Curse of the
Were-Rabbit" is a "doolally" movie that is absolutely
fabulous. Go on, and give it a whirl. You won't be disappointed!
