Featured reviews
I went to see Rugrats. When I told this to a friend of mind she said why, you're pushing 40...
I went because I thought I would laugh....I did for the whole movie.
Its great, its wonderful, its not Rugrats in Paris or Wild Thornberry's the Movie, but its a fun 90 minutes thats better for adults who know the references...the Poseidon Adventure song for example. (And even the filmmakers know this isn't high art when one of them in mid-panic says haven't we don this before- a reference to the first Rugrats movie) Most of the new songs suck, but the use of old ones such as "Atomic Dog" and "Should I Stay or Should I Go" was choice. I also loved who ever covered "Message in a Bottle".
Any movie that lets Bruce Willis and Tim Curry riff wildly can't be all bad.
The film was in ordorama--- but no one got the cards. The six smells were donuts, Peanut Butter, Flowers, Stinky Feet (Go to work dill)a Burp and Kippers. I know the kids were a bit lost behind me with the flashing numbers. If a card come with the DVD I will buy the disc.
"Its a lot easier going potty in the rain forest, you don't have to worry about getting it on the walls and floor" - Chuckie Spikes full name, if you care, is : Down spike down get off that couch...
I loved this movie a lot. Its just great fun...
My mom would go crazy about Lil and Phil and the discussion about eating bugs and mud... that included the Nemo echo of we don't eat bugs we pet them.
I would like someone to explain a booger farm to me...or not... since understanding is not required to laugh at the joke.
Go see the movie and laugh for 90 minutes and understand that sometimes nothing special is very special when it comes to movies.

It's still better than the first movie but not as strong as the second. There aren't as many jokes that work and the story isn't as strong either. Thankfully the new characters are still great.
When I was younger, I used to love the Rugrats TV show, I didn't stop watching them until I was 13.
That did not stop me from watching these movies. which I really like, all 3 of them.
The whole movie is packed up with lots of funny jokes and some good songs.
I think talking Spike, was just little two odd for me.
Like how they put both Rugrats and The Wild Thornberrys together was great idea.
A Lots of kids would love this movie, I am 24 years old and I found some of these scenes to be very funny,did make me laugh out loud.
This is not as good as the last two movies but that dose not mean this is bad, far from it, still a great family movie.
I give this movie 8/10

The end credits for "Rugrats Go Wild!" include a section headed "Klasky Csupo Accounting," which unfortunately figures; this third theatrical outing for the Rugrats and second one for the Wild Thornberrys plays more like a marketing exercise than an actual movie.
With this big-screen crossover of two TV shows, you'd think that they'd both get equal time, but due to their show having been more successful and having their full name in the title (it was originally called "Rugrats Meet The Wild Thornberrys" before someone decided that was too obvious), Tommy, Chucky and the rest get more time on screen than the far more appealing Eliza Thornberry and Co; it's not until near the end that they're on anything like equal footing, and by then the movie's been sabotaged by a plot that's too skimpy for words (the Pickles, Finster and DeVille families - plus Susie - get stranded on the same island that the Thornberrys have pitched up on for their latest jaunt, and cue much running around and shrieking), an ounce of actual amusement amongst a ton of shrill and strained gags, too many characters squeezed into too little time, and far too many songs, pop or otherwise (Chrissie Hynde. Why?).
Having Bruce Willis do the voice of Spike doesn't help much, and neither does including some of the most heavy-handed movie references this side of a Leslie Nielsen comedy. In fact, the movie officially becomes a waste of time when their boat capsizes and it turns into a mini-homage to "The Poseidon Adventure," capped by Angelica singing "The Morning After" in her toy karaoke machine. (If only she had been the character played by Stella Stevens.)
But even that's more forgiveable than having Stu say "I can't help feeling partially responsible." Stealing lines from "The Simpsons" is the final insult... Eliza's older sister and Betty DeVille are the only ones to emerge intact. Note to Paramount: ENOUGH ALREADY!

The movie introduces the babies in a jungle pretending to be like The Wild Thornberrys, which happens to be a fake-out. Meanwhile, the adults are preparing for their vacation in the South China Seas. Stu has everyone's tickets for the Lipschitz Cruise. We then see that Susie is coming on vacation with them because her parents will be out of town. The Lipschitz cruise ship leaves without them and we Stu and Spike on a normal boat called the S.S. Nancy.
The adults get disgruntled and attempt to get on the cruise ship by sending signals and driving the boat there themselves. A large wave attacks them and it turns the ship upside- down. They get out of the rinky-dink tub, Betty opens up a life raft and they hop on there while the boat sinks. The family becomes stranded on a deserted island, and they begin disputing about how they're all gonna survive. Betty eventually becomes a leader after drawing a circle in the sand and she gets all the adults to work together as a team to find ways to survive on the island.
Meanwhile, the babies go their separate ways after Angelica scares them about how they're not gonna survive in the island. Spike runs into Eliza, and Spike starts to speak for the first time (since Eliza is capable of talking to animals) and Nigel Thornberry suffers amnesia and goes on adventures with the toddlers. Chuckie gets his clothes stolen from Donnie, and Chuckie ends up wearing his clothes as well. Angelica, since she is pretty much a b****, becomes good friends with Debbie, due to them sharing the same type of personality.
Nigel and the babies try and find the clouded leopard named Siri. The parents eventually encounter Mrs. Thornberry. Their attempt at finding the babies in the Bathosphere worked, but the fuel in there was empty, and Stu solved the problem, making him a hero at the end. The credits end with the children reuniting with their families and taking the Lipschitz Cruise back home, giving the movie a fantastic ending.
