    Aimless and boring
    I had high hopes for this movie, but about five minutes in I realized there really wasn't much to the plot other than this: A duck family who doesn't normally migrate decides to go south to Jamaica, despite the father's fears. They encounter obstacles that seem forced and contrived. There is little to no humor--in fact Im pretty sure I never once laughed. I was embarrassed that I chose the movie tonight and made my husband sit through this. Eventually he fell asleep. Sadly, it was nothing like Minions or Dispicable Me. I guess not all Illumination movies are winners. This one was a huge miss for me.
