If you ever wondered if guinea pigs would make good spies, do we have a movie for you. Danielle recaps the 2009 spy…thriller? G-Force. Which perhaps stands for Guinea Pig Force, but since there’s a mole and a fly involved, maybe not? Not important. When Zach Galifianakis’s elite guinea pig (and co.) task force is about to be on the figurative chopping block at the FBI, they decide to go rogue to show them how amazing they can be. Stumbling across a plot for world destruction brought to you by arms dealer-cum-appliance magnate, Bill Nighy (the British guy-hy), the guinea pigs are sure they’ll impress, but when everything goes awry their program is shut down. Now on the literal chopping block, they make a run for it ending up at a local (and horrifying) pet store. Shenanigans ensue. Appliances come to life. Children try to murder guinea pigs with lacrosse sticks. Microwaves use cake for rodent bait. Animals may or may not be sentient; it’s deeply unclear. And yet, we promise you, none of that will prepare you for one of the most shocking plot twists in movie history.
Theme: Earning Happiness by John Bartmann.
