KING

Watchable. Awfully run-of-the-mill. The lion, behaving surprisingly more like a dog than a cat, and some wonderful French landscapes are the main attraction. While it's all convincingly acted and the girl (Lou Lambrecht) tells the hen story like a pro, and the level is considerably kids and teenagers', the villain character is sketchy - you don't know what he is and why he needs the little lion at al. The setbacks are like in all other 'girl-takes-care-of-a-lion-cub' flicks. The usual animal liberation message is loud and clear.  

BODIES BODIES BODIES

Walked out. A group of youngsters organize a party, some of them snort drugs, some talk rubbish, they play a dumb game. And not a single good-looking guy in sight in this would-be slasher.
