Whatever happened to truly great teen movies? Say Anything, Rebel Without a Cause, Wild Things…where are today’s John Hughes and Cameron Crowe? I blame American Pie, personally. Sure, it hearkened back to the blissful days of Porky’s (with maybe 1/8 th the nudity), but now teen movies are either firmly girl films or guy films, with no real crossover between them. Coming down firmly in the X chromosome camp is Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, which is based on the best-selling teen fiction novel of the same name.

Not in sheer numbers, but in the quality of their stories and the sophistication of their delivery.

In what has to be the single best designed animated effort to date from Dreamworks, Madagascar tells the story of Alex the Lion (Ben Stiller), Marty the Zebra (Chris Rock), Melman the Giraffe (David Schwimmer), and Gloria the Hippo (Jada Pinkett Smith), four Central Park Zoo attractions who eventually find themselves stranded in the wilds of Madagascar, unprepared for demands of wild life and the changes it brings upon them.
