As quintessentially English as fish 'n' chips and as sharp as a Wiltshire cheddar, the hysterically witty import "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" is absolutely fabulous for the whole family. For those not familiar with the pair, Wallace is a working-class English inventor and an obsessive cheese-aholic (he hides extra supplies behind a copy of "Grated Expectations"). His shrewd canine companion, Gromit, is Wallace's more-than-able assistant. Although Gromit is speechless (and mouthless), his grimaces and rolling eyes hilariously convey his astute, long-suffering tolerance of his master's wild schemes. Read the full review
As the annual Giant Vegetable Competition approaches, Wallace and his faithful dog Gromit have been cashing in with their pest-control business, AntiPesto, which humanely dispatches rabbits that try to invade the town's gardens. Suddenly, a huge, mysterious, vegetable-ravaging beast begins terrorizing the neighborhood. (A full-length feature film based on the clay-animated shorts.)

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: A-
"With comedy that is at once ironically adult and beguilingly childish, it is as rare and precious as a crown jewel."
The Palm Beach Post: C+
"...a bit of a comedown, a pleasant 80 minutes, but hardly a must-see."
