HAS Brendan Fraser done something to offend Hollywood executives? Why else would he find himself being peed, pooed and rained upon for an hourand- a-hour? Or squeeze his bulky frame into a pink tracksuit for a cheap laugh?

Those responsible – for the natural hazards if not the tracksuit – are a menagerie of forest animals revolting at the prospect of their natural habitat being destroyed by housing developers.

Fraser’s Dan Sanders works for a real estate company that specialises in destroying forests to make way for houses. The animals decide they’ve had enough and, led by a raccoon, campaign to get rid of the developers.

Dan is their main target as the man in charge of the development site for a not-verygreen boss (Ken Leong). His wife (Brooke Shields, seemingly unperturbed all the animal mayhem around her) gets a teaching job and lumbered with organising the local forest festival. Teenage son (Matt Prokop), forced to move from town to country against his will, teams up with fellow student Amber (Skyler Samuels) to fight those destroying the environment.

If you’re a child or have a childish sense of humour and like animals behaving badly, Furry Vengeance is for you.
