Story & message are great (Dr. Seuss) but the majority of the movie tries really hard to be a little bit of everything (A musical, a drama, a romance, action, comedy, etc). Coming from illumination, there's a lot of "minion"-esque humor which is always annoying to adult people, but for youngin's is like candy. I'd still prefer to just read the book or watch the old cartoon personally. Movie: 6/10 Book: 9/10 Danny DeVito: 50/10

Danny deviate does it again he liter rally plays the borax in all dubs of the movie truly a breathtaking performance ROM one of the all time great actors of Hollywood when i think all star ball park home run hitting animated performances i'm gonna think Danny deviate i this magnum opus (for my magnum dong loll get it that's a reference to his other knockout great smash mouth hit roll as frank Reynolds adoptive father to Dennis and Dee Reynolds in the hit X series its always sunny in Philadelphia, which Will be ring its 12th season on January 4th of 2017 so mark your calendars) another god thing about this rad movie is that evil ass o hare dude hes just totally wicked gnarly evil man he dips all over Betty white whom is 90 something and the leads played exquisitely by zap Efron and some pop star (never stop never stopping see another wack reference for all thou hip people) than he has that gnarly song let it die BOI i would be dam ed if i ever heard a more sinister and evil song but that sigh guy has or backs and totally puts little short man in his place but this cinematic opus would be what it is without its other leading short man Danny deviate wit out him this would be like a 5 or 4 out of 10 flick but with him its a ten IT of ten picture

Story-A boy who lives in a town with no trees need to find 'onceler' because he is the only one who knows what happened to all the trees."The Lorax" started nicely but by the time movie was finished,I realized that there was something missing from this movie.In my opinion,that thing is nice story.Although movie gives a lovely message that we should plant more trees and should not ignore their importance but to make a really good movie you should also have a great story.Animation was very good and there were some funny characters too in the movie.Movie has some nice moments but overall it doesn't have anything special. But movie is not too bad and you can surely watch it one time.Overall I give it 6/10

The Lorax is basically about a boy who lives in a plastic world who wants to find a tree for his crush. Venturing out of town to find "The Once-ler," the boy is told (through flashback) the story of the Lorax, why all the trees are gone and why trying to become a business owner is inherently evil.The Lorax was a disappointment to say the least. The story was half- baked, the songs were forgettable and the environmental message was so obvious and preachy, I felt the need to go home and turn on all my appliances, then go out to rent an SUV and drive down the nearest street spraying chlorofluorocarbons in the air just to get the sanctimonious taste out of my mouth. And I consider myself an environmentalist! Well, I recycle anyway.That's not to say the movie is terrible, its not.I just don't see anyone liking it a lot.For its story is as plastic as its main character's home,read the book instead, it's an interesting tome.For this dubious adaption has an odious ring,and its basically an excuse to get Taylor Swift to sing.That and an excuse to shoehorn some corporate tie-in from companies eager to re-brand with an environmentally friendly message. Seriously 70 brands including the Mazda CX-5, IHOP, Target, Pottery Barn, Whole Foods, Comcast Xfinity, Seven Generation Diapers, and HP have all participated in tie-ins for this Dr. Seuss adaptation. I'm not saying I'm not in favor of tie-ins, I just find it ironic that a movie that preaches conservation so vehemently is, in equal measure, a boorish corporate shill.
