Mr Peabody & Sherman - 2014

Watchable the first time, but once is definitely enough. Mr Peabody is a genius dog who talks (but nobody's overly surprised, I guess in this world it's not so strange). One day he legally adopts a baby he found: Sherman. Mr Peabody built a time machine and he uses it to take Sherman in the past to teach him history. When he's 7 Sherman goes to school (only at 7? Didn't he go before?) and his know-it-all attitude earns him an enemy in Penny (or Jenny??). She starts mocking him, calling him a dog, they fight, Sherman bites her arm and a woman comes to threaten Mr Peabody to take Sherman away. Mr Peabody plans an evening with Penny's parents and that woman too to make peace and show that he's fit to keep a boy. Unfortunately Sherman tells Penny about the time machine and trouble starts, because obviously she wants to try it. At first she wants to stay in ancient Egypt, then they run out of fuel and stop at Leonardo Da Vinci's home to find a solution, then they encounter a black hole, Sherman learns from Penny about the woman who wants to take him away and in angry that Mr Peabody didn't tell him. He throws a tantrum and they end up during the Trojan war. Sherman wants to join the army because he's just a stupid little kid; when he thinks Mr Peabody's dead he goes back home to that same night before they secretly went to Egypt to save Penny. Mr Peabody was not dead, though, and somehow (mistery) found a way to follow him. Now there are two Shermans and two Mr Peabodys in the same house. When they touch each other the time continuum rips, time collapses and Washington, Leonardo, Einstein, Lincoln, Clinton and others are all together in the street (why Clinton??).
Sherman's idea saves the day: they go a slightly bit in the future and come back. This is enough to close the crack in time, for some reason. Every character goes back to its right time. Life is back to normal only now Sherman and Penny are friends and Mr Peabody's happy: every dog should have a child. The end.
It had a few nice ideas and moments here and there, but definitely not a movie I'd watch again. Once is more than enough for me!
