Secret agent guinea pigs save the world in Disney’s latest success.

What’s the story?
Three creative guinea pigs start off on an adventure as secret agents along with their friends Speckles the mole and Mooch the fly. Together they make up the impressive G-Force team, trained by the government to work in espionage. Their mission is to stop an evil billionaire who is trying to take over the world with his company’s products. When the FBI hears about the mission though, they try to shut down G-Force by sentencing them to a pet shop. Now G-Force must escape their confines and rescue the world!

Why see it?
Animal lovers will get a kick out of this movie with these quirky characters. The combination of animation, real action and computer-generated effects makes the movie a fun pick for a movie night out. It’s also a great family movie as it focuses on the theme of families sticking together and overcoming obstacles. Watch G-Force in 3D if you can, because seeing the animals fly off the screen will definitely enhance the whole experience of the movie!

Problems?
This movie was very predictable. From the very start, you could tell how each problem would be fixed and what would happen next; so if you’re looking for a unique and original story line, this is not the movie for you.

All in all:
Disney shows that with a bit of imagination, guinea pigs can be more then just pets.
