The Animal (DVD)

I’m ashamed to say that I saw this film recently on a pirate DVD given to me by a friend of a friend .It was however really funny and as such I’ve ordered the collector’s edition DVD – who says copyright theft is killing the film industry? . I didn’t hold out much hope for the film , mainly because it stars Rob Schneider, the man who single handedly made the Judge Dredd film the pile of pants that it was. Still as it was a freebie I gave it a go and although it’s no classic it has more laughs than most. PREMISE Schneider plays Marvin a downtrodden Police evidence clerk.

This has the comical side effect that Marvin starts to act like these animals in certain situations. ...  Read the complete review

The Animal is another comedy from the amazing comedy legend that is Rob Schneider (star of Deuce Bigalow Male Gigolo, Deuce Bigalow European Gigolo and the Hot Chick). The film sees Schneider playing the part of Marvin Mange who is a police file clerk who dreams of one day becoming a cop but one day a huge accident sees Marvin drive off the edge of a cliff and end up in hospital where when he awakes he finds that he has been put back together by a doctor and now seems to have very strong animal qualities like an increased sense of smell, able to run at insane paces, etc. As Marvin finds things getting worse when animals and people have been attacked by some manbeast ...  Read the complete review
