The fifth entry in the Ice Age series is a loud, lazy, laugh-starved cash grab that cynically exploits its target audience (I use the term advisedly) by serving them scraps and calling it yummy.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Toddlers will dig the shenanigans, but bewildered adults should root for the annihilation of this tapped-out series.
"Collision Course" won't alter the trajectory of history, but as an entertaining diversion, it does its job.
A perfunctory, watered-down entry in the series that feels like it should have been released on home video.
The 37th installment in the popular computer animation franchise. O.K., actually it's only the fifth feature, but what with the shorts and TV specials and video games, it feels as if there have been so, so many more.
