A pretty good movie. A good family movie. Everybody will be laughing during this movie! :)

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.

Awesome movie- perfect for kids 10 and up

I loved it! The Penguins are a great, funny addition! When I was young, I didn't notice most of the "bad" stuff. Its a nice movie. There are a few scary scenes, but they are mixed with humor. One scene Alex asks "Where are the people?" KIng Julian replies, "They're up there." You see two skeletons hanging on the tree by old parachutes, as well as a crashed plane. While that may be frightening, Julain interrupts by saying, "Don't you love the people? Not a very lively bunch, though." its a great movie. A lot of kids will just ignore the bad things, I know I did. You can also teach them to not say those things.

Madagascar is a great movie. It's all about zoo animals that escape because one of their friends wants to be in somewhere that has wide open spaces. It sounds good, but there is some bad language. In one part, Alex (lion) says "Sugar Honey Ice Tea" which stands for s**t. (Some kids won't notice that.) Some role models aren't good like the foosa that attack lemurs, and the lion is shot with tranquilizer darts. Finally, in one scene, an old lady kicks Alex and hits him with her handbag. It's a good film, but watch out for one use of bad language and bad role models.

boring you see everything coming unlike the second movie

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 :(

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.

This movie is a great family favorite..........just try to stop singing "move it, move it" after its over! I do have a couple problems with it, though. The first and main, is that there are a couple things, while not sexual, they made me cringe. (and I'm usually open-minded!) They are, in order of appearance: Gloria has seaweed, crabs, and a lobster stuck to her to look like a bathing suit, and says "okay boys, party's over", and when alex tries to get melman out of the box he's stuck in, he uses a long pole to ram him out, running straight at his behind. While this doesn't sound bad, trust me, it makes you cringe. There is also a lot of euphemisms, that will pass right over little kid's heads (only if they don't know any swear words) such as "hoover dam!" THere are even some blatant swears, such as he-- and dam-. Then finally, the worst part. In the middle to end of the movie, there is a montage to "what a wonderful world, where smal, cute animals are killed. The worst one is last, when, after being depressed, the animals come upon an ADORABLE baby duck. Your heart skips a beat on just how cute it is. And then, your hopes are dashed away because a shark comes up and violently eats it.This disturbed me SOOOO much when I first saw it....... And I was in the seventh grade!!!!!! Maybe it's just because I'm empathetic or something, but I hate this scene, and i never watch it.

I've seen the show of it.

good movie a must see

2nd one is better some violence when the penguins knock the captain out cold they use a buzzoka to distart the fusa gloria wears a braw for a short time for little kids private says suck but any age

When Marty blows out his birthday candles, he spits then bites into the cake. But I still like the film

Great movie. It is very funny, and the characters made me lol. I really liked this movie. It's the kind you can watch over and over again.

The movie was fun but the story was average and fun I give it 3 stars because it was not that good but it has a lot of fun with the animals

My kids (ages 2,5,8,10) love movies and couldn't wait for this one, but once the DVD arrived it took three days for us to finish the movie! They couldn't stay interested! The older two really tried to finish it but just didn't understand some concepts enough to stay focused. The younger 2 could have cared less. In fact my 2 yr old cried every time we mentioned trying to watch it! The loyalty of friendships was great but the language was a problem and some situations were, too. This is not a movie I plan on buying!

Very funny film with only a few vulgarities. Fine for most kids.

One of the funnest movies I've seen. I saw it 10 times in theatres. Love it you should see it

i thought it was great for kids they liked the animals. the music was hip and up beat. my kid enjoyed it that i had to buy him the game . i enjoyed watching it with him .

It was a really good movie and my 9 and 12 yr. old loved it. It was funny and entertaining.
