When real estate developer Dan Sanders finalizes plans to level a swath of pristine Oregon forest to make way for a soulless housing subdivision, a band of woodland creatures rises up to throw a monkey wrench into the greedy scheme. Just how much mischief from the furry critters can the businessman take before he calls it quits?
Furry Vengeance is a broadly formulaic family comedy that recycles the nature-vs-developer premise seen in countless similar films. The plot is predictable and thin, offering no real surprises. Brendan Fraser's physical comedy is committed but the material lets everyone down. Visually it's competent but entirely unremarkable. The ending is telegraphed from the opening minutes, and the film brings nothing distinctive or new to its genre — earning a low Novelty score for being genuinely derivative rather than simply familiar.
