Cheap Attempt at Humor, and it Fails

This film needed at LEAST good writing, which it lacked. The jokes were not funny, and this was just overall sloppy looking and boring. Even the CGI beaver was pretty stupid. And WHY is it funny when the stupid girl repeatedly kicks him? I kept hoping the beaver would at least BITE her. Why is being mean to a small animal supposed to be funny? Hmmm...could it be because the mentality of the writers is equivalent to a 4 year old?

The only way you could be more on the money is if you changed your estimate to "12 year old". That would account for the incessant sex jokes.

I rather liked Baines. We shared the same bootmaker.

oh YES you made a very good point! I change it to 12 year old!

It's sad, really, because in S&F's early days their humor was a bit more intelligent. Sorry to see it plummet like this just to attract preteens.
