  Nice ant-i depress-ant
  
  Nicely made giggle-icious cheesy family fun. Looks good. Stallone's voiceover is distinctive. Lively clean fun. Good ant-i depress-ant [sorry] too.

  Good family fun.
  
  Such a good family film. So under rated.
  
  The funniest part is where a leaf falls into the pathway of some ants. :)
