Recess: School's Out

This is a likeable cartoon feature for both parents and children because it moves along and holds your attention. Fortunately, no one bursts out singing, but the oldies background music is a plus. James Woods does a fine job as the voice of the baddie. NOTE : Have never seen the TV show so am judging the film on its own.

Recess: School's Out is a beloved 90s classic that captures the spirit of childhood and the joys of summer break. The film follows T. J. Detweiler and his gang of friends as they try to save their summer vacation from being ruined by their old nemesis, the school's principal. Little do they know that the principal's plot to cancel summer vacation is part of a larger conspiracy that threatens the entire world.

The film is a fun and lighthearted adventure that will appeal to both kids and adults. The animation is bright and colorful, and the voice acting is top-notch, with the cast including some familiar names like James Woods, Robert Goulet, and Melissa Joan Hart.

One of the strengths of the film is its focus on the power of friendship and teamwork. T. J. And his friends may not have superpowers or magic weapons, but they are able to overcome their challenges through their creativity, resourcefulness, and loyalty to each other.

Another standout aspect of the film is its nostalgic 90s vibe. From the fashion and music to the humor and pop culture references, the film is a time capsule of the decade that will bring back fond memories for anyone who grew up in the era.

Overall, Recess: School's Out is a fun and charming movie that captures the essence of childhood and the joys of summer break. It's a great choice for anyone looking to relive some 90s nostalgia or introduce a new generation to a timeless classic.

I saw "Recess:School's Out" and it was very likeable. T.J was a very funny character and I like the animation. The T.V. show is also funny, so I enjoyed the movie quite well. Anyways, I really enjoyed this movie and I recommend it. I give it a 9 out of 10!

Recess the TV show is about kids having fun, and teachers being teachers (good and bad). There's good character development and personality variation on the small screen and it carries well to the big screen.

The movie puts the kids in the role of spies who need to break INTO school to save their lifestyle. Along the way, there are great 60's flashback scenes and songs, lots of funny spy movie cliches including the mob-scene climax.

The characters are caricatures but it IS a cartoon after all. There's good voice casting (including James Wood, Melissa Joan Hart and a great sounding Robert Goulet). The plot is complicated (and just a little goofy), but my 8 and 10 year old had no trouble following the action.

There are good messages about friendship, respect, integrity, duty, but these aren't done in a preachy way.

The animation quality is variable. There are some great 3d zoom-sweeps, but for part of the movie the characters look like they've been singed. However, the few animation flaws are only an issue for nitpickers (like me).

See it with someone who knows that characters and likes them. It'll be a good rental or a nice afternoon in the theater.

Recess:School's Out is one of the biggest surprises I had recently while watching films, for I found it bright, colourful and very entertaining. Yes, it's a kids' movies, but adults will like some of the voice actors and the music. Sure, the story is a little forgettable, and there are some slow parts, but the feel-good nature of the film compensates. The animation is very good, and is moreover true to the style of animation in the TV series. The script is quite funny, my favourite line being "I have a fat saggy butt, which I like to scratch every hour on the hour". The voice cast breathe life to a likable host of characters, and are fantastic, the obvious standout being James Woods in a wonderful performance of Dr Benedict. The music is great, and Mike has a remarkably good singing voice. There are some very funny moments like anything to do with Randall and Ms Finster, and the fight at the end. All in all, engaging and entertaining, more reared at kids, but still likable for adults too. I honestly wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was. 8/10 Bethany Cox
