TheBlueHairedLawyer Barnyard tells the story of a barn of animals,, the main character being a cow, living a secret life when the kindly old farmer isn't looking. When a gang of vicious coyotes kills an old cow, Otis (the cow's goofball son), is left largely in charge of the barnyard... but can he really protect it the way his father did? Barnyard wasn't necessarily a bad movie, but it's not the first animated film about farm animals to come out, nor was it the last. It certainly doesn't have the same quality as Chicken Run (2000) or Charlotte's Web (1973). Somehow is spawned a sequel, and a TV series that I've never honestly bothered to watch; I'm not exactly Barnyard's target audience. I think if I was, I would have enjoyed it a little more, it's a typical kid's movie, not much else to say.

DaytonMetroSoccer This was a very funny little flick that most people will watch over and over again.Also note very quickly, seeyounext2sday is Completely correct. Do not judge this film of plagiarism if you do not even know the **** facts! Thats BS.Anyway, highly recommend for a slow Saturday night or just anytime. I watched it over the summer thinking it would be stupid by judging it by its cover of Otis riding a motorcycle, but when the first 10 minutes started I really knew that I was in the hands of some good writers. Like I said before, don't judge if you don't have the facts, and this is a very highly recommend movie while also being a very funny flick, original, and slightly cliché but good!

biteyourself So many people bash this movie for everything from the "male cows with utters" to the fighting scene with Ben and the Coyotes. Give it a rest people. The utter thing is a joke, meant for laughs and not anatomical correctness. Most of your children probably didn't notice unless you pointed it out.And the violence in the movie is just as violent -if not less- then the video games kids play today.If you want some good laughs, then check this film out. The party scenes are great. The jokes are clean enough for children, yet funny enough for adults.

sirfire First of all I totally agree that this is NOT a family movie and to be frank i cannot believe that it is marketed this way. It should be rated M and aimed at teenager or above cause it does have far too many things to explain or even talk about to minors. We shouldn't be discussing drink driving, gang bashing's, murder or what is a cow and why do they have MALE cows when there is no such a thing. It's clear that this is a far side joke IMO and this was aimed at the adult audience only however I believe that greed made them point tone it down enough to be PG and aim it towards a broader audience and as such it brings it down cause people are expecting one thing or another and are not either. It's enjoyable if you didn't have kids and opened minded you will enjoy it. Shame they toned it down cause it could have been a ripper adult movie :) 5 out 10.
