Reviews Counted:99

Fresh:24

Rotten:75

Average Rating:4.5/10

Consensus: G-Force features manic action, but fails to come up with interesting characters or an inspired plot.

Rated: PG [See Full Rating] for some mild action and rude humor.

Genre: Action/Adventure

Theatrical Release:31-07-2009

Synopsis: Producer Jerry Bruckheimer brings his first 3-D film to the big screen with G-Force, a comedy adventure about the latest evolution of a covert government program to train animals to work in... Producer Jerry Bruckheimer brings his first 3-D film to the big screen with G-Force, a comedy adventure about the latest evolution of a covert government program to train animals to work in espionage. Armed with the latest high-tech spy equipment, these highly trained guinea pigs discover that the fate of the world is in their paws. Tapped for the G-Force are guinea pigs Darwin (voice of SAM ROCKWELL), the squad leader determined to succeed at all costs; Blaster (voice of TRACY MORGAN), an outrageous weapons expert with tons of attitude and a love for all things extreme; and Juarez (voice of PENELOPE CRUZ), a sexy martial arts pro; plus the literal fly-on-the-wall reconnaissance expert, Mooch, and a star-nosed mole, Speckles (voice of NICOLAS CAGE), the computer and information specialist. --© Walt Disney Pictures [More]

Hugely enjoyable, fast-paced action-adventure with a witty script, likeable characters, great action sequences and terrific special effects.

This rollicking action romp has all of the chase scenes and car crashes you expect from a Jerry Bruckheimer movie

A bland distraction for the school holidays and nothing more, the now-ubiquitous 3D version isn't any better.

It’s a shame that the heart of the story doesn’t beat strongly enough to match the visual invention onscreen.

It is suitable for kids, and parents won't have to suffer much if they accompany the kids.

The joke of cute animals hacking into mainframes and dodging explosions may not be enough to sustain a movie.

Billed as children's fare, G-Force's incessant action provides trainer wheels for youngsters soon to grow into the teens who have made Bruckheimer's live-action films such moneyspinners.

Sometimes those aren’t choc-covered sultanas in your hand after all, and G-Force is one of those times.

Believe in yourself is the motto of this sweetly madcap and amusing family adventure in which talking guinea-pigs turn the world upside down in order to save it. The execution is inventive and the cast works well.

Adults without kids may find their minds wandering even with the brief run time and those 3-D visuals.

The worst thing about G-Force isn't that the plot is so formulaic that the entire movie can be divined from the first 20 minutes or that it's not particularly funny.

It wasn't a horrible movie, but I could have done without the fart jokes, really. Overall, it was just a mediocre kids movie that you can toss in the pile with all the rest.

Guided by the principle that action movies have become generic that anybody can be plugged into the hero role and the results would be no different than if Arnold Schwarzenegger or Bruce Willis was the star.

G-Force's dedication to egregious stereotypes is hackneyed and indefensible: this is how racism lives on.

1 Plexiglas ball sporting 1 hamster was fine for Disney's Bolt. Along comes Bruckheimer -- now it's 3 Plexiglas balls with 4 hamsters, er, guinea pigs, and 1 Transformer. Seems he's hell bent on excess.

Not even remotely as bad as it could have been. Because, let's call a spade a spade: "sentient guinea pig spies" could easily have been just about the worst movie ever made.
