I think this movie is a mixed bag.
The animation is well made.
The big names are there.
On paper the story is funny.
.....but
For me the characters never become likeable, at all.
'Mister Link' himself has his moments, sure, but Hugh's en Zoe's characters feel unpleasant, cold and shallow.
I don't know what causes this for me, but my best bet is a combination of the way they look (their faces just look unpleasant, emotionless) and the bad dialogue (no character depth, no charm).
Even when these characters show their so called soft side it doesn't feel right somehow.
To be honest, I thought Hugh was portraying a bad guy the first part of the movie.
Not bad, but not great.
.....but that's of course my personal opinion ;-)
