Funniest, but stupid, movie I have ever seen!

This movie was one of the funniest movies I have seen in some time. It was quite refreshing compared to some so called "comdies". I knew it was going to be quite a movie when, at the beginning, the chosen one rolled down the hill and the woman picked him up and said "so cute" and continued to roll him down the hill. I also felt that the "Mufasha" seen was a hilarious parody to the Lion King. Even though there were some stupid scenes, I rate this move a 10. Perhaps, also, one of the funniest scenes, is where the chosen one falls down the water fall and yells "whale!" and a killer whale fall of the cliffs into the depths of the waterfall. I rolled around on the ground in laughter, and I mean this literally.
