'Ice Age: Continental Drift' -- 2 stars

<b>PG; 1:27 running time</b><Br><Br>
"Ice Age 4" separates the woolly mammoth Manny (Ray Romano) from his family, for a while, as the land masses creak and groan, though not as loudly as the script's jokes, especially the ones ending in the word "booger" or "puke." The saber-toothed tiger Diego (Denis Leary) finds a mate, voiced by Jennifer Lopez. John Leguizamo's sloth, Sid, becomes caretaker of his abandoned grandmother. Peter Dinklage voices a nasty pirate orangutan. The tone of the banter in "Ice Age 4" is wearying sarcasm punctuated by frequent death-threats and pummelings and 3-D action sequences that reduce the entire experience to a sledding run. -- Michael Phillips<br><br>Read the full <a href=www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/movies/sc-mov-0710-ice-age-continental-drift-20120712,0,4601005.column>"Ice Age: Continental Drift" movie review</a>
