CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com audio film review for “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem,” the latest reboot of the popular Gen X cartoon heroes, produced and co-written by Seth Rogen and featuring the voice of Jackie Chan. In theaters on August 2nd.

The film begins with a rogue scientist named Baxter (voice by Giancarlo Esposito) who develops a “mutagen” so he can create a family from common animals … like a housefly. When a rival scientist named Cynthia Ultron (Maya Rudolph) raids the lab, some of the mutagen ends up in the sewers of New York City, affecting a rat named Splinter (Jackie Chan) and four tiny turtles, who Splinter adopts to live apart from humans in the sewers. He names them Michelangelo (Shamon Brown Jr.),, Donatello (Micah Abbey), Raphael (Brady Noon) and Leonardo (Nicolas Cantu). They grow up to be the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and for one of their first adventures in the upper world they are about to confront the original lab mutants led by … SuperFly (Ice Cube), with help from an intrepid teen journalist named April (Ayo Edebiri).
