monster balls not just hamster balls

This is a film that just tries too hard, and it shows, from the techno-terror inspired villainy (we're talking about world destruction) to the quality of the casting and voice work. G-Force boasts the high profile talents of Cage, Rockwell, and Cruz, while tossing in some minor humor thanks to Morgan, Buscemi, and Favreau. Otherwise wasted, however, are Arnett, Nighy, and Niecy Nash as a sassy pet-store owner. They fall victim to a script by National Treasure scribes the Wibberleys (Cormac and Marianna) that just isn't interesting. Instead of building up to the piglets' big case, watching them grow and gain confidence, we are simply tossed into the middle of their amped-up adventures and asked to accept what is happening. No explanation. No movie magic.
