because Josh is secretly a big kid. I didn't really have any great desire to see Rango but it was surprisingly funny. From little Johnny Depp themed in jokes to broader western tropes, the premise of Rango is that a domestic chameleon falls out the back of his family's car in the middle of the desert. After much stumbling and meandering he ends up in a little town called dirt where, seeing as nobody knows him and he is a budding young actor, he slips into the role of western renegade and all round fierce-don't-mess-with-me good guy. He quickly becomes the towns new sheriff and after his luck has him ridding the town of the dreaded hawk with one bullet, he becomes and instant hero and friend to all towns people. The water in the town is running dry and it's up to Rango to find out why.
I found the characters all really unique and charming, the voice-work well handled (what a star studded cast - Bill Nighy, Alfred Molina, Isla Fischer, Abigail Breslin) and the smattering of western film tropes. Rango is actually rather a delightful little film. The adventures and action are enjoyable, the folklore captivating, I actually laughed out loud on a number of occasions, I don't know what else to say except that you should see this film. It is a fun little guilty pleasure.
