Usually it's easy to root for underdog John Cusack. But will it be so easy if his voice is hidden behind the image of a hunchbacked David Gest? Not so much; particularly when the film's decent premise (a stock mad scientist sidekick--an "igor"--tries to make it on his own) is hidden by just as grotesque a facade: archetypical Disney-esque jokes and characters. Sidekicks are just so wacky, ya know?

Why just give Buscemi the Igor voice instead of relegating him to the sidekick?

Terrible voice casting. Agreed. Buscemi should have had the lead. Unless that was him doing the impression of Steve Carell doing another bad voice project.

The voice casting is fine. However, the entire concept sucks.
