Trivia:

Early promotional material credited Ted Elliott, Terry Rossio and Tim Firth as screenwriters.

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Darwin asks Juarez "how many hours have you put in that simulator?" she responds: "Two Hundred... thousand". Two hundred thousand hours is approximately 23 years. A properly cared for guinea pig can live up to nine years, with the average being five to seven years. (Maybe they would have lived longer if were genetically engineered, but Ben clearly tells them that they are not.)

Quotes:

Juarez: Blaster, don't drop a pellet.
Blaster: Too late.

Go G Force

Not exactly as bad as what haters are ranting about.

It is not all that bad, at least it tries its to be an enjoyable family movie flick. But as usual, Disney movies now are getting haters around the world due to its popular teens and live-action animals-talking movies. So now, when they see a live-action Disney movie whether it has teenagers singing or animals yapping away, they would be put off immediately. Whatever it is, G-force is fun with 3-D. Kids would like the cute animals coming near them.

The story: G-Force has a simple story which is also not creative. But that it is not what kids want, they would want to see action blazing through their ways. As this being a Jerry Bruckheimer production, you can expect at least a car chase and some explosion but only more mild. Trevor Rabin did a good work in creating epic music. Though a kid movie, expect some rude humour but also at the same time, some lessons to teach your kids.

Overall: Definitely not as bad as what haters say. In the end, it is just meant to be an enjoyable fun romp. You don't like animals talking, this is not for you. A good movie for the holiday. Just leave your brain at home if you want to enjoy this.
