I'll admit, I really enjoyed the first Ice Age movie, and the second one was not too bad. I have to say that is definitely a character driven movie in that the enjoyment of watching these movies comes directly from watching characters, we have grown to care about, go through another, adventure together.

And from the title of the movie, it is obvious that a set of new characters will be added to the continuing Ice Age Saga.

This movie is opening against Public Enemies, a movie that I do want to see, but it has been my experience that these types of movies (historical bio-pics) are better enjoyed on DVD where you fully meditate on the events being portrayed without major distractions.

Yes, it's true, Jack Black has been in some pretty bad movies, but it's also true that no matter how bad his movies may be, they always have several "laugh-out-loud" scenes, and that's why we go see Jack Black movies.

He'll probably never win an Oscar, and that's okay. We like Jack Black and his movies, not because they're well written, well directed or full of incredible performances, we go see them because they're funny and we feel like laughing, and JB rarely fails at making anyone laugh.
