Shiny Movie Review by Liv: Rango

Rango is holding Mr. Tim

A good way to spend a half day, vacation, or weekend is to see a movie. That’s just what I did this Friday. I saw Rango, a PG movie, with my classmates after school. The movie is about a lizard that gets far away from home. Luckily Rango meets Beanz, another lizard that helps him get to the town Dirt where they all live. They all need water to live, and that’s just the problem. When the town's water runs out, they need someone to retrieve the water. Will Rango and his friends do it? Or will they fail badly?



It’s an awesome movie with a couple of inappropriate things, like the h word and in the movie a Barbie doll character is buried in sand, but her bare top is showing. 

Banana rating: 3 

(scale: 0-5, 5 is best)

So check out the movie Rango and find out for yourself. For this movie, I would give it a three banana rating.
