Avis Metacritic

This whole movie is fun, and smart too, a fitting tribute to Jay Ward's original cartoons.

The balance of inspired idiocy to hackneyed buffoonery is out of whack.

The needle on the laugh-o-meter barely budges.

Never gets horribly bad, but can't sustain its moments of inspiration either.

As flat as the brim of a Mountie hat.

Enough flickers of Jay Ward's gloriously subversive sensibility to make it watchable, but it also has enough lengthy stretches of pure triteness to make it easy to skip altogether.

The plot is Kate-Moss thin. Basically agreeable stuff, but not much more. And that's a shame.

Follows the current trend of once-popular cartoons turned into mediocre live-action incarnations.

This terrible live-action comedy based on Jay Ward cartoons has its moments and its near misses.

A big dud.
