Harmless fun. <em>'Chicken Little'</em> isn't anything standout, but there is solid humour and a satisfactory premise to follow. I like the references to pop culture, Zach Braff is enjoyable in the titular role and the run time is nice and short. It's forgettable, but I'm sure the core target audience will rate it. It does comes across as two separate plots, they are actually connected but it can feel like the opposite in a few moments. There's not much else to note really. It'll divide opinion obviously, but I think it just about sneaks under the 'good' category in my books.
