Plot: A cow learns to walk like a man, both literally and figuratively, in this computer-animated comedy written and directed by Steve Oedekerk, the creator of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. Ben (voice of Sam Elliott) is a cow who for years has been the leader and sober voice of reason among the animals at a farm where the critters are a bit unusual -- they can walk on two legs, talk, swim, and act like humans, though they have the good sense to avoid doing these things while humans are around. Ben has long dreamed that his son Otis (voice of Kevin James) would someday take over his duties on the farm, but Otis is a carefree and irresponsible type who would rather party with his friends and hang out with his girlfriend, Daisy (voice of Courteney Cox). Ben and his friend Miles (voice of Danny Glover), a wise and patient mule, wonder if Otis will ever make anything of himself, while Dasiy's best friend, Bessy (voice of Wanda Sykes), is convinced she can do better. However, one night Otis decides to do something about an obnoxious kid who enjoys tipping his fellow cows, and for the first time in his life he gets a taste of leadership -- and he likes it. Barnyard also features the voice talents of Andie MacDowell, Maria Bamford, and Maurice LaMarche. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

With the one-star rating, you'll easily tell that I absolutely HATE this movie!

Do I even have to mention how bad this really is? It's a bit obvious that this is a horrible, and I mean H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E animated film. It looked like there was absolutely no effort put into this one. Why did the creators even bother writing the script for this? Didn't they know that this would be an awful idea from the start?! Okay, first off, everyone is talking about the udders. Yes, it's true. There are male cows that have udders! Why?! Aren't the females the only ones who have them? And the males are BULLS! BULLS! So it's clear that the creators didn't do any bit of research. Secondly, the animation is . . . just not superb. It's lacks substance, and it lacks beauty. It shows the truly ugly side of CGI; nothing here is good. Another downside to Barnyard is the lack of humor. This is absolutely unfunny: none of the jokes really work, and the sight gags are so overused. Couldn't they get Mel Brooks to write the screenplay? The fourth problem about this film is the typical list of stars. Why get James, Glover, Cox, and Sykes when you can get real professional voice actors? I guess it's always about money. And the biggest flaw of all is the similarities with The Lion King. Honestly, this is an exact ripoff of a timeless classic! The "father-and-son" relationship is here, the Hamlet references are here; I was expecting "Hakuna Matata" to be sung halfway through the film!

This is an abomination among animated features. Nothing is good about it, and nothing is funny about it, and certainly nothing is dramatic about it. Just because you have CGI animation doesn't mean it'll automatically turn this into a great film! Makes me wonder if the TV series is any worse.
