I saw Clifford for the first time yesterday. For the most part I thought it was odd. Martin Short plays Clifford, who is one of the most annoying characters ever. Seriously, Clifford does not at all look like a ten year old as SHort is playing him. It just is odd how Short is playing a ten year old. Also there really is no explanation why he is such a jerk. He just is totally obnoxious for no reason at all, I don't get it. I think Martin Short is OK, but this is just a bizarre performance that left me wondering. Some parts of this film were funny, but mainly this movie had odd humor that did not really stand out. The only thing that stood out was the entire Dinosaur Land scene at the end. Mary Steenberg once again showed that she is one of the most boring actresses ever and one that ADDS NOTHING TO ANY FILM SHE HAS EVER BEEN IN!!! Seriously, she was bad in Philadelphia, bad in Elf, bad in Back to the Future Part 3, bad in Gullivers Travels, and bad in this film. I thought the character of Uncle Martin in this film was odd also. Seemed a little bi polar at times, angry at parts and happy at others. BUt he did bring up the interesting fact that Clifford can not even act like a normal kid. So this film had an annoying main character, maybe the most annoying ever, bad humor, and Mary Steenberg. Not recommended.
