If Ace Ventura was family friendly and without Jim Carrey. <em>'Cheetah'</em> is actually alright, in truth. I wouldn't say I particularly enjoyed it, but it's a harmless 83 minutes which fills a gap if you need it to. The locations and animal stuff are decent. The premise isn't anything you'll remember as it isn't fresh, original or majorly interesting to be honest. As for the cast, they are serviceable. I like Lucy Deakins (Susan), Collin Mothupi (Morogo) and Keith Coogan (Ted); the latter is basically Tommy Kirk, Walt Disney himself would approve of that casting I'm sure! The adult actors are actually the weakest cast members. Not much more to note. Forgettable sure, but it's a quick watch and not irritating or anything like that. Lastly, who knew this used "Hakuna matata" before that entirely unknown film from 1994, eh?
