Story

G-Force is an animated movie that follows the adventures of a group of animals specially trained to work as US government agents. The G-Force consists of guinea pigs Darwin (Sam Rockwell), Blaster (Tracy Morgan) and Juarez (Penelope Cruz), Speckles the mole (Nicholas Cage), and the blowfly Mooch (Edwin Louis).

Under the direction of animal behavioural researcher Dr Ben Kendall (voice of Zach Galifianakis), this crack team uncovers an evil plot linked to the launching of a new wireless communication system – ‘Cluster Storm’. This system has been developed by electronics entrepreneur Leonard Saber (Bill Nighy). The animals discover that the new system has the capacity to remotely communicate with every Saber-brand household appliance. It can then convert harmless goods such as coffee machines into deadly weapons. The G-Force operates covertly to prevent Saber’s destructive plan for world domination.

Along the way, FBI agents Trigstad (Gabriel Casseus) and Carter (Jack Conley) try to shut down the G-Force operation. As the situation becomes critical, the G-Force team realises that one of their own members has betrayed them. This results in a bitter battle to save the world.

G-Force is directed by Hoyt Yeatman and produced by Jerry Bruickheimer.

Ideas to discuss with your children

G-Force is an entertaining light-weight animated comedy adventure. It has impressive special effects but little storyline.

Values in this movie that you could reinforce with your children include loyalty and family bonds.

This movie could also give you the chance to talk with your children about issues such as the way the movie shows cruelty to animals as comic. In real life, it has serious impacts on animals who are unable to defend themselves. You could also talk about how betraying friends and family leads to loneliness.
