I have always said that if you want to watch a great movie, then you should always choose kids films & "barnyard" is exactly why.
This film is sooo funny, each & every animal has their own unique charactor that you just love. The script well written, with both kids & their parents each enjoying the funny banter.
I suppose the one thing that may put people off, is that the graphics are not quite up to other movie's, such as open season(big bore of a movie), but this doesn't in my opinion detract from the movie.
There are some real corkers in this film, from the poor farmer to the very annoying kid.
My family saw this movie twice while it was in the cinema & we cannot wait for it to come out on dvd.
