The Animal (2001)
6/10
Animal parts make a strange man even stranger.
1 June 2001
This movie is silly. Funny. Crude. Scattered with sexual humor. A border line hilarious hit. Rob Schneider has one heck of a car accident. He is found by a weird doctor(Michael Caton)that puts him back together with various animal parts. This meek geek of a guy becomes...well animal like. Situational and sight jokes keeps this movie rolling along without a hitch.

The main reason I wanted to see this is not that I am a Schneider fan; I am a fan of Colleen Haskell, who plays the role of girlfriend. Miss Haskell, one of the original members of the TV hit SURVIVOR, fared well in her movie debut. Her lines were nothing compared to her effervescent smile and bedroom eyes. Hope this jump starts a career for her.

Veteran actor Edward Asner plays the mild mannered Police Chief. Also in the cast are John C.McGinley, Cloris Leachman and cameos for funny men Norm Macdonald and Adam Sandler.

This movie manages not to demean or gross out anyone. A little potty humor goes a long way. Schneider and Haskell seem to work smoothly together and give a feel of freshness to the project. This flick is funnier than you might think.
