​The star-studded cast of The Lego Movie enhances the film with humorous dialogue; the voice actors include Will Ferrell, Will Arnett, Morgan Freeman, Elizabeth Banks, Liam Neeson and Channing Tatum. All their voices are recognizable, making it even funnier to hear someone like Liam Neeson—whom most viewers associate with his serious role as Bryan Mills in Taken—narrating his comical role as Bad Cop.

The movie revolves around Emmet (Chris Pratt), a young construction worker with no “special” qualities. Emmet follows instructions diligently and has a desperate desire to fit into Legoland society. However, after stumbling upon an ancient relic, Emmet learns of a prophecy: he is told not only that will he become “the greatest, most interesting, most important person of all time,” but also that he is the only one who can stop President Business (Ferrell) from carrying out his diabolical plan. The plot is both humorous and action-packed, but the resolution is unexpected, providing in-depth insight about how people shape the world in different ways.
