Our take on Rango

Gore Verbinski's 2011 animated adventure comedy for families follows Rango, a lost family pet who accidentally lands in the gritty, gun-slinging Western town of Dirt. The theater-loving lizard suddenly finds himself the newly appointed sheriff, welcomed as the last hope the town has been waiting for, and forced to play the role to the hilt while uncovering the truth behind a looming water crisis before his act catches up with him. It's an unusually stylish, dusty homage to classic Westerns, with painterly visuals and a wry sense of humor. Best for older kids and adults who enjoy oddball animation, film references and a hero learning who he really is.
