Skip it. 'The Animal' is a 2001 Rob Schneider vehicle that's all crude premise and zero execution—even by early 2000s comedy standards, this one hasn't aged well. Unless you're specifically hunting for nostalgia-driven bad movie fodder, there are way better ways to spend your night.

Plot

When loser Marvin Mange is involved in a horrible car accident, he's brought back to life by a deranged scientist as half man and half animal. His newfound powers are awesome -- but their adverse side effects could take over his life. Now, Marvin must fight to control his crazy primal urges around his new squeeze, Rianna, and his rival, Sgt. Sisk, who both think he's one cool cat.
