His most elite team consists of three guinea pigs, Darwin (voiced by Sam Rockwell), Juarez (Penélope Cruz), and Blaster (Tracy Morgan), as well as a star-nosed mole named Speckles (Nicolas Cage, sounding just Cagey enough that you can recognise it's him if you knew it beforehand), and a housefly, Mooch (Dee Bradley Baker, the one honest-to-God professional voice actor in the cast). THE STORY IS MORE COMPLEX THAN THAT, OF COURSE, he declared, quickly returning to his earlier track: Ben (Zach Galifianakis) is a federal researcher who has perfected the technology for communicating with animals and training them in the arts of espionage and infiltration.

Sadly, it turns out that they're just a husband-and-wife screenwriting team, Cormac and Marianne, and they have previously worked on things like The 6th Day, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle and the remake of The Shaggy Dog, meaning that "sentient guinea pig super-spys" doesn't even count as a dip in their career, let alone an embarrassment. The story is a bit more complex than just that, of course, as befits the fact that it was written by, literally, a half-dozen people, among them Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, whom Bruckheimer has loved ever since they made him look like a genius for producing Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and someone rather threateningly referred to as "The Wibberleys", which I thought at first might be some faceless think tank organisation specialising in making the most soullessly commercial projects imaginable - that, or the name Bruckheimer gives to the invisible dolphin monkeys that live in the trees in his backyard and whisper ideas like "sentient guinea pig super-spies" in a language that only he can understand, by using the late Don Simpson's genetic code as a Kabbalistic codebook.
There must have been some fine bud in the Brukheimer compound back on the day when this one got pitched. In which Jerry Bruckheimer presents animated sentient guinea pig super-spies who work for the FBI, saving the world from a supervilliain's scheme for conquest.

I made that damn promise about seeing every #1 movie at the box office, and it was gnawing on me like a swollen parasite that I hadn't yet.
I really don't know why I'm bothering: the film came out over a week ago (a geological age in Summer Movie time), nobody in the proper age bracket who would want to see it is at all likely to stumble across this blog, and money's snug enough that I should just as soon not fritter away cash on something that a) I do not want to see, and b) I know damn well that I'll have nothing valuable to say about.
