Not having been the biggest fan of the previous three Ice Age movies, I can’t say I’m overly enthusiastic about the fourth, Ice Age: Continental Drift.

It’s tough to be cool rolling in a minivan, but the dads in Neighborhood Watch (retitled The Watch), for which the first teaser trailer was released today, almost manage to do it. I mean, c’mon, these guys have a tiger with fiery wings decal on the side of their ride! That logo identifies them as…
