fine for 8+
I was a little surprised with this effort from Dreamworks cause it was actually a bit funny.

Ok for kids older than 5 or 6
I think it's a cute movie, but I'm bummed about the language. We're pretty strict about not using "stupid" "crap" "shut up" "hell" or name calling like "jerk" or idiot" and unfortunately, these are often referred to as "mild" insults which is OK for older kids (at least Kindergarten or 1st grade) but completely inappropriate for kids under 4 in my opinion. I don't think this language ever adds anything to the film, so why bother putting it in? I was really disappointed about the scene with "sugar, honey, ice tea"- although many little ones will miss it altogether, why bother putting it in- it doesn't add anything but shock value for the parents :(

Great family film, funny too!
Madagascar is a great family film that's actually funny too. Ben Stiller as Alex is great, Chris Rock as Marty is super, David Schwimmer as Melman is pretty funny ,and Jada Pinkett Smith as Gloria is a hard worker(in a good way.) Don't forget the penguins who are kind smart and the lemursalmost ruin the whole movie.At least rent this movie on dvd today and see what you think about it.

I like to watch it-watch it!
Ah, the perfect movie. Granted, it's rated PG for a reason. The good thing is that the PG content won't be caught by youger kids, and will make older people laugh as well. I won't be surprised if this becomes the next "Shrek"- it's already better than the first.

A great animated comedy will appeal to most kids and tweens!
Loved it! It was hilarious! Not a lot to worry about here. Some violence is put into the movie, but it is very mild. In one scene Gloria, the girl hippo, pretends to wear a bikini using sea creatures like starfish and crabs. Besides that, there is nothing to worry about. Families will love this!

One of Dreamworks best films
This film was very funny. Although, I thought the plot was okay, but the humor made it better. I give it 3.5 stars

Just okay, nothing more.
Some people are like, "MADAGASCAR ROCKS!" It's JUST okay. It's highly overrated, in my opinion, and should not have had a sequel. DreamWorks has done better.

Not Bad
This isn't really a bad movie except for the violence and there are penguins that frequently say hooverDAM trying to make it clean but not wait... What? And there is a part where hippo comes out of the water wearing a "bikini" it's okay if your kids are not sensitive to violence and nice characters turning In to "monsters"

awesome movie
Madagascar rocks!! I love the part where Alex starts getting hungry in the jungle and then starts seeing Marty as a steak and he bites his butt and all the other animals are looking at him like what the heck xD its awesome, the characters are all really hyper, and its good fun song in it, and King Jules is just weird and possibly a little gay xD but really funny!

Not as good as the 2nd madagascar
Good movie but I like the 2nd madagascar a little better.

Madagascar has Become a Landmark
This was a very creative movie for how a life of an animal can be like a human's. It can change from peer pressure to just regular life and just trying to survive. This was a very funny movie, and I hope to see the 3rd in May 2012.

Fun!!
My son loves that each character has very unique personalities. There is some innuendo, but he misses it at age 3, doesn't think anything of it. He has a lot of fun with the music and action. He's constantly singing the song "I like to move it!". This is a regular watch in our home.

Kids Movie? Give Me A Break!!!
Come on why do people even think this is a good movie? Its too crazy, too much drugs! Alex is even crazier in this one than the 2nd one! All the dumb behavior is not appropriate for a kids! Messages are crazy! Why does everybody like this, Its Stupid!!!
