Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl review

Running just 79 minutes, Vengeance Most Fowl is a brisk and well-paced escapade, in which Gromit proves himself to still be one of our best screen actors and Wallace's absentminded behavior still endears. A gallery of supporting characters - from neighbors scandalized by theft to the journalists and the police - not only add to the usual fun but also offer some of the film's more cutting jokes and social commentary.
