Well, the first thing I have to say is that this movie was far too long. About 20 minutes could and should have been cut out, because the pacing suffers horribly from it. However, this is still an above average Will Ferrel movie, as it actually has some pretty decent humour and some acting that isn't entirely awful. The effects are what surprised me the most, as they are decidedly above-average and make for some pretty gorgeous scenery and vistas. What's odd about this movie, though, is that it isn't a kid's movie... it's more like a kid's movie for adults. So while the narrative could be resumed in a single sentence, the jokes and language are aimed at adults. Still, it's decently entertaining to watch.
In a sentence:
Simple, slow and slightly funny, but with some truly gorgeous visuals.
