“Happy Feet” refers to the relief people feel while they shuffle out of this inexplicable mess of a film.
Rating: C
The movie can’t decide what it wants to be: one comedic song-lyric heavy showstopping number after another (which, for the most part, works); a coming-out-of-the-closet story; or an overbearing political environmentalist message that takes up WAY too much of the movie.
Are there laughs? Sure. Most of them will go over kids’ heads — and the adults won’t necessarily be laughing *with* the movie, but at it. Which is never a good sign.
