I was not looking forward to seeing this when I first saw the trailer. I'm just sick of Johnny Depp doing kid's films. I want to see something different. I lucked out with this one... it's one of those cartoons you can take the kids too, but it's really aimed for the adults.
Johnny Depp plays Rango, a pet chameleon that gets tossed out onto the highway when the owners have a near accident. That then sends him on a journey through the desert to the town of Dirt. Here he becomes the Sherriff, meets a girl, has some adventures and eventually finds himself. Fun stuff really.
A lot of kooky characters, a lot you will recognize who they were modeled after. Coolest part is the little tribute to Hunter S. Thompson! Timothy Olyphant plays Rango's spirit guide. The Man With No Name, totally modeled after Clint Eastwood's character from the old spaghetti westerns.
Verdict: * * *
