The Tiger Rising Review: Queen Latifah Exec Produces Her Worst Movie To Date
Dennis Quaid (The Day After Tomorrow) parachutes into The Tiger Risingdoing a full-on Joe Exotic impression, as the opening act plays like the Tiger King, Disney Channel Original Movie. Queen Latifah is sixty percent executive producer and forty percent magical black stereotype, virtually guaranteeing diminishing returns, scene after scene after scene. Based on the 2001 book of the same name byKate DiCamillo, this middle school drama doesn’t get off the ground before falling flat on its face. Overwrought, overacted, and over the top at every turn, The Tiger Rising has one thing going for it; a script that bleeds ridiculous lines like, “That’s how real men do business. In tigers.” and “That’s right, real men do business in tigers.”
