Huevos: Little Rooster's Egg-Cellent Adventure

Kicking off with a nightmarish opening scene in which a demonic-looking, huge-bosomed, hair-curlered housewife goes after anthropomorphic eggs (possibly because the woman is trying to cook breakfast?), Huevos: Little Rooster's Egg-Cellent Adventure focuses on undeveloped rooster Rolo (voiced by Zachary Gordon) and his group of farm friends: chickens, eggs (that can walk, talk, and creepily make out), and even a slice of bacon. The farm on which they live is going bankrupt, and when the old lady owner decides to sell off items, the creatures make plans to earn big money from a “boxing match”—which looks like cockfighting (illegal in the U.S.).Weaving in scenes of drunk poultry, a duck rap battle, and rats with the munchies, while also fashioning a love interest for Rolo (“she wants someone to pick a peck of pickled peppers with!”), this wacky, coarse tale winds up with an undercooked finale. I watched the PG version dubbed by an English voice cast, but the disc also includes the Spanish-language PG-13 original (perhaps some even bawdier jokes were lost in translation). Also featuring the voices of Jon Heder, Jason Mewes, and Keith David, this computer-animated film is optional, at best. (J. Williams-Wood)
