Wreck it Ralph needs no fixing, being a funny movie
for both kids and adults. Aiming at the kids are all the cute interactions and
characters, such as Vanellope (Sarah Silverman) and Fix-it-Felix (Jack
McBrayer). To the adult crowed the movie appeals to the retro gamer in all of
us, reminding us of our childhood and the games we used to play. The story
follows Wreck-It-Ralph who is tired of being viewed as a bad guy just because
he plays a bad guy in his game. He sets out on an adventure to find a medal in
order to become a good guy. High jinks ensue and he ends up running into an
annoying young girl named Vanellope and they learn they may be able to help
each other. There are tons of retro game cameos and adult humor thinly veiled
enough to avoid child detection. A few unnecessary slap stick gags bring Ralph
lower but he manages to wreck all expectations, giving you a darn good show.
