a good example of Schneider's talent. My fave of his movies next to The Hot Chick.

Yeah, this movie is kind of dumb, but that's what makes is so great. No, it's not going to be a masterpiece of the silver screen. C'mon, what were you expecting, it stars Rob Schneider. If you don't like slap-stick comedy, you will not enjoy this movie.

I thought this movie was hilarious. Just watch it for the sheer purpose of watching a funny, dumb movie. It's not serious. :c) RELAX!

If you didn't throughly understand my headline let me reiterate... THIS MOVIE IS AWFUL!
Propbably one of the worst movies I've ever seen! I didn't even laugh once! The jokes are dumb, and the comedic timing is so off its sad. AND THE ENDING IS SOOOOOOO STUPID! This is probably Rob Schneider's worst film by far. Painful to watch!

its a comedy with a hot gunbarrell pointed to your head begging for a good shot, this is what it was like fot me, good awful and my head hurt. though the funniest part is when he slaps the goat on the ass and it kicks his back, but otherwise, ahhhhhhh, (click)...(gunshot)..no more please. horrible acting and Colleen Haskell(Survivor) is cute but doesnt cut the fact that theres no story to this one. bury me now.

my fave rob schnieder took a backwards step with this so / so movie. funny but flawed.

My kids aged 7, 11 and 14 absolutely loved this movie.

I have enjoyed his other movie, the Deuce Bigalow, but this one, the Animal, was slightly dissapointing to me. Especially one thing, the car accident, was too unrealistic. Some slapstick-type situations were very funny and in genereal I was laugihnig from time to time. I was really upset by the Regional Coding Enhancement protection on this dvd, because of which I could not watch it on my US-bought Apex 600 dvd and I had to use pc-dvd player. Shame on the distributoor! Is this a way to fight piracy? For me it is just a turn-off.

When Marvin Mange is involved in a fatal car accident, he is brought back to life as half man half animal. With his newly formed animal features, we are expected to laugh at the gags that happen as a result. But all these gags do is attempt to make the viewer less intelligent. This film heavily relies on toilet humour and it's target audience seems to be aimed at younger kids. Are adults really expected to laugh at this low class humour? If we do, we should be ashamed of ourselves!
Utter tripe.

This is a light hearted movie great for a boring afternoon. It made for laugh over five times out loud so I guess I enjoyed it. I think Rob Sneider is hilarious, when emulating a dolphin, or cleaning himself like a cat, it's a major crack-up. And being a huge fan of "Survivor", it was great to see Colleen Haskell in a movie. She is actually a pretty good actress. "The Animal" will put you in a good mood, it's a funny movie with alot of laughs.

Rob Schneider is under-rated for being one of many SNL castoffs. People say the SNL bunch is untalented and rely on physical, stupid humor to float their movies--yeah that's true, but with the exception of Rob Schneider. Schneider is the ultimate goofy nice guy, and maybe it's because of that other goofy nice guy, Adam Sandler, we just skip over him because of the deficiency in the category. Maybe we are skipping some of the funniest material ever made.

The Animals main faults are in the sad casting of Colleen from Survivor as his love interest--this woman cannot act; the reliance on bestiality to catch a few laughs--which I personally don't mind, I think it's hilarious to see him smack a goat's buttox as long as its a female; and the mediocre job of directing. Otherwise, for plot, it's hilarious.
