    Movie Review: Wreck-It Ralph



    From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes an animated comedy that’s fun for the whole family!  Wreck-It Ralph takes place in an arcade game universe where video game characters roam free amongst Game Central Station after-hours.  When Wreck-It Ralph (John C. Reilly) from the game Fix-It Felix, Jr. gets fed up with being the bad guy, he “goes Turbo” and jumps games in order to try and earn a medal for himself, however he clumsily releases a Cy-Bug from Hero’s Duty which threatens the entire arcade.  The film hit theaters in early November and also stars Sarah Silverman, Jack McBrayer, and Jane Lynch, and was directed by Rich Moore of The Simpsons and Futurama fame.

    Wreck-It Ralph provides a unique common-ground between a fun kids movie and a witty comedy riddled with one-liners and references for the older folks.  The film has an ultimately positive message and is just simply a delightful ride from start to finish, providing plenty of hilarious moments, suspense, and video game references that are sure to tickle the chuckle-bone of any nerd who sees it.  For example, in the beginning of the film Ralph is at a support group for video game villains with such bad guys as Bowser and Doctor Eggman… it’s hilarious!  And on top of all this, the animation is spectacular and there are a boat-load of great voice over actors!

    Reilly is perfect for the lead, but Silverman steals the show as the loveable hoodlum Vanellope Von Schweetz who is a “glitch” but swears she just has “pixelitis.”  And as Ralph puts it: “Who doesn’t love a brat with dirty hair?”  And in addition to McBrayer, who plays the video game protagonist Fix-It Felix, and Lynch, who plays the bad-ass Sergeant Calhoun from Hero’s Duty, there are some other great voices by Alan Tudyk, Mindy Kaling, Joe Lo Truglio, Adam Carolla, and many more!

    Go see this movie.  It’s enjoyable for everyone and it is truly funny.  Also, the Paperman animated short in the beginning is pretty enjoyable as well!
