Once again, Disney has done it. They took a simple concept and converted it into a massive dose of imagination with lots of eye candy for the kidlets. The simplicity of it is Ralph is bored and feels his job is unfulfilling as a bad guy who wrecks everything. So, he decides to prove himself worthy of being more than just a "bad guy" by jumping games (called, "Going Turbo") to get a medal of honor to bring back to show all who fear him and prove that he's not a bad guy after all. When Ralph gets into the thick of it, he realizes, and the others too from his game, that he was where he belonged before he went turbo. He just needed a little more love than he was getting. And we all got a dose of the warm fuzzies watching Ralph conquer the video game world. It was a sweet and endearing movie to watch with my kids. The only thing I wasn't exactly thrilled about was Sarah Silverman's character, Vanillopee, was wordy with a few terms that didn't sit well with me. She said a things that a 2 year old could easily pick up, but you wouldn't want them to say these things in front of company. Other than that, the movie was great and fun.
Some of the situations are funny, but come on, do we really need nudity...and with a tiger, nonetheless? The acting was pretty good: "Andy" from The Office, adorable baby, small parts for Mike Tyson and Heather Graham, etc. But this is a typical stupid comedy movie with very little thought-provoking dialogue and plot. I think I laughed harder at the Sasha Cohen's Bruno movie trailer than at this movie.
