Review: Ice Age 4

The fourth release of the chronicles of Mandy, Diego and Sid… becomes one of their most perilous adventures yet.

Scrat’s never ending pursuit of an acorn triggers a continental drift that threatens to destroy every animal on the ice covered plains that they trio called home. Sid is reunited with his old and smelly granny who is unceremoniously dumped on him by his fleeing family while Manny struggles with the problems of raising his adolescent daughter, Peaches.

The drift forces them away from their families and into the path of a ragtag group of pirates, led by the Orangutan, Captain Gut.

Determined to return home and to their friends, the foursome (now including Sid’s granny) have to fight their way past the pirates who seem hell bent on stopping them. And for the first time ever, Diego the sarcastic saber falls in love.

As usual, Scrat, unperturbed by the consequences of his actions continues his quest for an elusive acorn and ends up uncovering a treasure map that might lead him to a lost island overflowing with acorns.

Packed with humor and Sid’s trademarks screw-ups, this new film in the Ice Age series has been brought to life with the marvelous animation of FOX and top-notch voice rendering by Ray Romano as Manny, Denis Leary as Diego and John Leguizamo as Sid.

There can be no scope of criticism for the movie, as no matter how you look at it… it never ceases to be a fun filled fantasy. 

A must watch for all animation fans, school kids… and basically anyone looking to kick back and laugh his ass off, irrespective of age.

Overall the Ice age saga continues to be a source of immense entertainment to every man woman and child who has not had his sense of humor surgically removed.

Watch it to experience comedy without a single shred of lameness.
