About
You may enjoy this if you want a mild, animal-centered road comedy with a sentimental streak and you’re mainly here for the star’s laid-back humor; Not for you if you need big laughs or fast pacing like Dennis the Menace.
Pros: warm-hearted, easygoing road trip; a few funny moments; elephant has presence | Cons: thin, formulaic story; not many laughs; uneven supporting characters
