Rango


Let me just state that I don’t love this movie simply because Johnny Depp voices the main character, Rango, a blue lizard who wears Hawaiian-print shirts. No, I love this animated movie also for its wittiness, clever allusions and fabulously named characters. Who could possibly resist a film with characters called Beans, Balthazar and Rattlesnake Jake?

Essentially a Western, Rango finds himself being crowned Sheriff of a nowhere town called Dirt. And as in all Westerns, he must defeat the resident villain, preferably with pistols at high noon. A thoroughly enjoyable film for both kids and grown-ups.

Rating: 4 outta 5.
