G-FORCE: Kid Critic rushed out to the movies to see G-Force the day after opening, which looked like a great movie and was excited to see it in 3-D.


Can you guess what G-Force stands for by the previews?  Yes, that's right, guinea pigs who have power and a forceful team.  The guinea pigs start off at the beginning of the movie on a mission to keep funding available that comes from the FBI but they have to prove themselves that the guinea pigs can do what FBI agents can, no matter how small or they would be shut down.
