Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The director Hoyt H Yeatman Jr (an American, perchance?) says he got the idea for this adventure movie about guinea pigs as special agents from his five-year-old son. Thanks a lot, kid.
Zach Galifianakis, described in the press notes as the "quite literal wild card" in The Hangover, has a reduced role as the handler of a team of crack rodent commandos. They are on the trail of an electronics tycoon (Bill Nighy) who purposes to turn his range of household appliances into lethal weapons: I'm guessing, but the psychotic coffee machine might be a first in cinema.
Sam Rockwell, Penelope Cruz, Nicolas Cage and Steve Buscemi (playing an anti-social ferret, inevitably) do the voice work, while the husband-and-wife team The Wibberleys, who wrote Bad Boys 2 and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, do the script. One or two of the ideas are actually not bad – there's a rather cute joke about a mole, for instance – but for the most part, it's like running on a wheel.
