Product Description: Kevin James plays Otis the Cow in this animated comedy. Hmm let's check the dictionary here... HEY! Cows are supposed to be female! Does this mean he's a tranvestite bull? Or is Otis a drag king? Or just a gruff-voiced lesbian with an unfortunate name? Well Kevin James is the King of Queens. Someone call Marlin Perkins we demand answers!System Requirements:Run Time: 90 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating: PG UPC: 097363431244 Manufacturer No: 343124
Amazon.com: When the farmer's back is turned, the animals party down in Barnyard. A young cow named Otis (voiced by Kevin James, The King of Queens) loves to have fun at the farm's wild late-night hoe-downs, despite the disapproval of his father, Ben (Sam Elliott, Thank You for Smoking). When Ben dies defending the barnyard from marauding coyotes, Otis is chosen as the new leader--but responsibility sits uneasily on Otis' head and he fears he may not be able to protect his friends from the coyotes. Barnyard's design of the cows seems inspired by Gary Larson's The Far Side comics; though the style is simple, the characters are surprisingly expressive. From moment to moment, the movie is reasonably entertaining. The actors--including Courteney Cox, Danny Glover, and David Koechner (Anchorman) as a very menacing coyote--do solid voice work and there are plenty of amusing gags. But as Barnyard gallops towards its end, the combination of cliches (the story is a clumsy reworking of The Lion King), odd choices (the male cows have udders), and lackluster dialogue makes the movie sag. --Bret Fetzer
I LIKE IT MY KIDS LIKE IT I DID TO MY MAMA EVEN LIKE IT TO LOL. THEY TOLD HER SHE HAD TO WATCH IT TOO.
seen better I bought this movie for my daughter, and she did not like it. i think its a waste of money.
Bulls with udders I enjoyed the movie, thought it was funny. I will watch anything that has Sam Elliott in it, but I couldn't get past the whole 'bulls with udders' thing. Wouldn't that confuse kids? If it hadn't been for that, I'd have given it four stars.
Overthinking a simple movie After reading a few of the reviews, I am completely disappointed in the lack of commendation this movie has received. Barnyard is light-hearted and guaranteed to make you smile..maybe even laugh. I think people are reading way too far into this movie. It's a children's flick, not a monumental, moving drama! If you can't sit back and be a kid again for an hour, go watch CNN!
Barnyard fun This is a good film if you can overlook the obvious complaints (all bovine do not have udders). Good story and good solid characters.
