My brother and I saw a matinee of the new CGI children's movie from Dreamworks. While it was pleasant and I laughed, I think the actors (Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, and Jada Pinkett-Smith) played it a little too straight to elicit the unexpected comedy I like best.
That said, it was a fine fish-out-of-water tale of a domesticated lion, giraffe, and hippo going after their adventurous zebra friend who dreams of life in the wild.

My favorite straight-outta-nowhere moment: "It's a cookbook! It's a cookbook!" Which was probably too obscure for most grownups, and waaaaay too obscure for the kids.
