Chicken Little (2005)


Chicken Little features a protagonist with the same name, as expected from his small stature and wimpy look, is not good as much and the laughing stock at school.  The plot starts off predictably, and focuses upon the father son relationship between Chicken Little and his father, after Little sets off  "false alarm" of a piece of the sky falling, making the news and his father ending up apologizing to everyone.  Little then decides to join baseball, something his father excelled at when he was back at school and you'd think, ah, Chicken Little will be the star and everyone will live happily ever after.  Unfortunately, the writers deemed to include a plot twist of some sort, involving aliens, and it feels wildly out of place.  The tone and direction of the film does a backflip and it feels like a completely different movie, and hard to take seriously.  The humor works half of the time, viewers will probably let out a smile here and there, but there isn't anything original or witty.  Overall, Chicken Little, if your expectations aren't set too high, isn't too bad a film, just a bit doubtful in its storytelling approach.
