ROBOTS
Cast: Ewan McGregor, Halle Berry, Greg Kinnear, Robin Williams, Jim Broadbent, Mel Brooks, Amanda Bynes, Drew Carey, Jennifer Coolidge, Paul Giamatti, Dan Hedaya, Alan Rosenberg, Stanley Tucci, Dianne Wiest, Natasha Lyonne.
Dir: Chris Wedge
Some truly neat visuals and action set pieces plus some good jokes (not to mention Paul Giamatti AGAIN being the best part of the movie) keeps this just hovering above mediocre. Perhaps I've been spoiled by PIXAR, but I expected something a bit more.
Oscar Prospects: Best Animated Feature if there are 5 nominees or if there aren't 3 films that get bigger buzz and better reviews. Maybe also Sound Editing.
Grade: C+
