Madagascar 3 : Europe’s Most Wanted (2012) 7/10

Starring : Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, Jada Pinkett Smith, Sacha Baron Cohen
Director : Eric Darnell, Conrad Vernon &Tom McGrath
Running Time : 94 mins

Alex (Stiller), Marty (Rock), Gloria (Pinkett Smith) and Melman (Schwimmer) are still trying to get back to the New York zoo but first they have to track down the penguins, who have run off to Monte Carlo. When they attract the attention of animal control, the animals decide to hide out with a travelling circus by pretending to be circus animals, and discover that the circus is due to return to New York and that they may be able to get home.

These movies are starting to get a little annoying, and the characters aren’t as likeable as they might once have been. It does look like this might be the last of the series, seeing as how (spoiler alert) the animals got home and decided they didn’t want to live at the zoo anymore, but if there is a sequel it would seem ridiculous to continue to call the movies Madagascar.
