Producer Jerry Bruckheimer brings his first 3-D film to the big screen with G-Force, a comedy adventure about the latest evolution of a covert government program to train animals to work in espionage.

Tapped for the G-Force are guinea pigs Darwin (voice of SAM ROCKWELL), the squad leader determined to succeed at all costs; Blaster (voice of TRACY MORGAN), an outrageous weapons expert with tons of attitude and a love for all things extreme; and Juarez (voice of PENELOPE CRUZ), a sexy martial arts pro; plus the literal fly-on-the-wall reconnaissance expert, Mooch, and a star-nosed mole, Speckles (voice of NICOLAS CAGE), the computer and information specialist. --© Walt Disney Pictures [More]

The joke of cute animals hacking into mainframes and dodging explosions may not be enough to sustain a movie.

Billed as children's fare, G-Force's incessant action provides trainer wheels for youngsters soon to grow into the teens who have made Bruckheimer's live-action films such moneyspinners.

Sometimes those aren’t choc-covered sultanas in your hand after all, and G-Force is one of those times.

Believe in yourself is the motto of this sweetly madcap and amusing family adventure in which talking guinea-pigs turn the world upside down in order to save it. The execution is inventive and the cast works well.

It is suitable for kids, and parents won't have to suffer much if they accompany the kids.

Adults without kids may find their minds wandering even with the brief run time and those 3-D visuals.

The worst thing about G-Force isn't that the plot is so formulaic that the entire movie can be divined from the first 20 minutes or that it's not particularly funny.

It wasn't a horrible movie, but I could have done without the fart jokes, really. Overall, it was just a mediocre kids movie that you can toss in the pile with all the rest.

For a 3D movie, G-Force falls very flat.

Guided by the principle that action movies have become generic that anybody can be plugged into the hero role and the results would be no different than if Arnold Schwarzenegger or Bruce Willis was the star.

G-Force's dedication to egregious stereotypes is hackneyed and indefensible: this is how racism lives on.

1 Plexiglas ball sporting 1 hamster was fine for Disney's Bolt. Along comes Bruckheimer -- now it's 3 Plexiglas balls with 4 hamsters, er, guinea pigs, and 1 Transformer. Seems he's hell bent on excess.

Obtain a human-sized version of a hamster wheel, then spend a couple of hours scurrying around inside it, and you’ll have had an experience far more varied and stimulating than what’s on offer here.

The animals seem more real than the humans, but the comedy is overly cute and the tone forced.

Not even remotely as bad as it could have been. Because, let's call a spade a spade: "sentient guinea pig spies" could easily have been just about the worst movie ever made.

The CGI guinea pigs are startlingly realistic-looking... which will charm kids, and the whiz-bang nonsense they get up to... is exactly the stuff of silly, entertaining moviegoing.
