What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople are loving this one. It's about a shepherd, Hugh Jackman's George Hardy, who reads detective stories to his flock, only for the sheep to take up the case when a mystery hits the farm. The clever premise and hilarious execution are what really land, with the humor and originality scoring sky-high. The sheep themselves, voiced by a cast including Bryan Cranston and Chris O'Dowd, are the clear stars, with characters like Sebastian and Mopple getting special praise. While Jackman gets a lot of attention, reactions to the human supporting cast, like Nicholas Braun and Nicholas Galitzine, are more mixed. A few people found the pacing a bit off, but that's a minor complaint in a movie most find genuinely funny and fresh.
