Review title: Creating a memorable character doesn't require a big budget
Product review: I looked forward to a reinterpretation, instead: slow, no drama, numbingly episodic, simple uncreative direction, forgettable characters. This story just never builds any steam or dramatic drive. Alan Cumming, a talented and engaging actor, is given pitifully unfunny lines in an effort as comic relief. Neil McDonough seems to be channeling Dirty Harry area Clint Eastwood. I liked the lion, not many lines, but his actions did create a character that was true to itself throughout the film. Miss Deschanel, whom I have liked since 2002's The New Guy is the most disapointing. She has a zombie-like wide eyed non-reaction to every conversation/situation she is engaged in. If she doesn't get worked-up, emotional, caring, sad, scared, angry...then why should we?
