"Rango" is the latest in what now seems like an endless parade of mediocre animated entertainments for family-friendly audiences. This one has a few brief moments of philosophical depth, but overwhelmingly it just wants to entertain. And it cannot even do that very well. "WALL-E" this ain't.Johnny Depp provides the voice of the eponymous main character, a lizard who has spent his life as a household pet. Separated accidentally from his owner, he finds himself wandering in the desert. There he finds a tiny town of rodents and reptiles struggling to survive in the midst of a brutal drought.
Due to his remarkable gift of gab, Rango is named the sheriff of the town and leads them on a quest to figure out who's been stealing the water.
"Rango" tries to be an adventure, a comedy, and a romance, and it fails on every front.
