    Youngest son had his birthday party a little early since he’s gonna be out of town on his actual birthday. He had 4 boys sleepover and we all went and saw Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank at the local cinema. The nice thing about summer birthdays is we’re not limited to…

    I thought this would be ironically entertaining. I’m now down 2 hours off today’s schedule with nothing to show for it.

    I really liked how it showed in a non irritating way that preconceived prejudices are never good and usually wrong. Great message delivered in a fun way for kids. Adults also

    If you love Blazing Saddles and want a kid-friendly version, this is it. There are some genuinely funny parts but also bits that dragged. The short in front however was truly horrible- if main feature had resembled that, would have left after 10 minutes. But the feature…

    Disappointing attempt at a pseudo remake of Kung Fu Panda.

    Too much adult humor. Tried too hard to be funny.

Despite its risqué origins, “Paws of Fury” manages to dish out lighthearted fun, swashbuckling action and surface-level messaging about following your dreams, though not every joke lands.

It’s a breezy, funny, highly self-referential flick steeped in movie history.

Reckless cultural insensitivities aside, Stone and Hopper’s writing is simply not smart or funny. Poop and fart jokes comprise the core of their repertoire, and if you’re curious how reliant the film is on this material, Paramount is literally handing out whoopee cushions to promote the film.
