Movie Review: If Ice Age: Continental Drift is anything to go by, love is in the air... for everybody! Peaches ( Keke Palmer) is in love with Ethan (Drake). Louis (Josh Gad) is in love with Peaches. Diego is in love with Shira ( Jennifer Lopez). You, of course, are (and will once again be) in love with the Ice Age series.

The franchise carries on showcasing its brilliant art work, its warm and vibrant characters and its straight-from-the-heart story of team spirit and survival, of not only the fittest, but the weakest too. Not to miss out are the lessons for life you get to re-learn: Never leave a friend behind. But before that there are loads of goodies for all you kidos... and biggies alike.

Now what really sets this sequel apart from the earlier versions is the action unlimited. There isn't a single second when the screen is not ablaze with fights, battles and survival-of-the-fittest drama. Add to that some witty one liners and a couple of memorable moments. Case in point, the tidal waves, deadly sea creatures, avalanches, crabs, water infested by pirates headed by Captain Gutt ( Peter Dinklage), a war battalion, leaves turned into fighter planes, sharks... and water, water everywhere. Special mention: Peaches as the rebellious teen who is just too tired of her parents controlling her life and the blue whale who steals the show, literally. And in case you wondering whatever happened to Scratte, here goes: Scratte, as always, manages to create utter mayhem on screen... and add that extra dose of laughter.

Yes, Ice Age 4 is a fitting sequel to the animal saga that turned out to be a moving human parable when it was first released in 2002. Excellent in 3-D and eminently watchable in 2-D too, Ice Age 4 is indeed alluring fare for the family this weekend.
