Since there was nothing else for me to rent, I had to revert to old films that I’ve missed. “The Animal” is one of them.

This is a typical Rob Schneider comedy. It has some smart humor, some situational humor, and some “toilet” humor. If it wasn’t for this last one, I would have liked it more probably. But even as it was – it was pretty good. It looked like a mix of Police Academy with Ace Ventura and some Chris Rock racial bits. Although Chris Rock wasn’t n it.
I liked the pace of the film and equal distribution of jokes throught the film. The soundtrack was pretty good – it was setting the proper mood for each scene, albeit it was a bit too noticable.
If you liked other Rob Schneider movies – watch this one too, it is along the same lines.
