THE SHEEP DETECTIVES

George (Hugh Jackman) is a shepherd who reads detective novels to his beloved sheep every night, assuming they can't possibly understand. But when a mysterious incident disrupts life on the farm, the sheep realize they must become the detectives. Accessible enough for younger viewers without condescending to them, yet complex enough to engage an adult audience. -Nell Minow, RogerEbert.com Tickles the funnybone, touches the heart and just may end up as the summer's sweetest surprise. -Peter Travers, The Travers Take (PG, 109m)
