Synopsis: Your favorite classic Dr. Seuss story is back! We all know the story of the Lorax, but no one knows what happened after the Lorax (voice: Danny DeVito) floated away. Lovestruck twelve year old Ted (voice: Zac Efron) believes he is destined to receive the affection of the girl of his dreams, Audrey (voice: Taylor Swift), by getting her a real living tree. Ted hears from his Grandma Norma (voice: Betty White) that there is a extremely old man known as the Once-ler (voice: Ed Helms) who knows all about the beautiful truffula trees. Ted goes on a very adventurous ride as he confronts the richest man in Thineed Ville, Mr. O'Hare(voice: Rob Riggle). This untold ending to the amazing tale The Lorax is a laugh out loud, hilarious, partly romantic film for the whole family!I give this movie out of a 1-10 scale a: 7 1/2: I was rather pleased with this movie after getting out of the theater. I was happy that the film wasn't just the same Lorax story animated in a different way and better picture quality (like most of the movie industry is doing currently.). Most of the jokes and sarcasm were really good including a couple lines by the villain near the end of the film (that was hilarious by the way.). The whole idea and plot of the film was very well done, it was nice to see the Dr. Seuss story be expanded and better developed. Another thing that was pretty good about this movie was that the character development of the Once-ler and the long flashback throughout the film really got me to understand his mistakes and his personality then, and presently. From an acting stand point the movie was pretty okay. Danny DeVito and Betty White were really good, but Zac Efron and Taylor Swift weren't as good, they did alright, but I think the movie would have been better with different lead roles. The voice of the Once-ler and Mr. O'Hare were also exceptional. One thing I didn't like about this movie was the very end, if you have already seen the film I am not talking about the song, I am talking about after that. If you have no clue what I'm talking about or you haven't seen the film, bare with me for another minute or so. There were some other minor aspects I didn't enjoy, but other wise the movie was great. I know you're probably thinking, why didn't I rate the film a 10 because I didn't have much to say about the bad aspects. Well, I rated the movie a 7 1/2 because of the aspects I didn't like and it just wasn't anything special about it. This is a great family movie that I highly recommend seeing. Also, it really doesn't matter if you see it in 3D or not, it really doesn't make a difference with this particular movie.
