    A kids movie - gross, but fun

    It's odd reading all the reviews critiquing this film in terms of editing, plot etc and marking it down.

    There is one golden rule when watching children's movies - take children, leave your adult experience in the foyer.

    My two girls - 5 and 8 - loved it. I didn't but that really doesn't matter.

    I've given it an average rating taking into account my score - 3 - and the girls' score - 9. The girls' score is the only one that matters.

    So far they've watched it about 5 times, and keep yelling at me from the other room to come in quick because "this bit is really funny".

    That's enough for me.

    Wouldn't say it's Horrid nor Perfect

    Horrid Henry: The Movie is a bad movie, but to be honest, I kinda like it?

    It's predictable, looks more direct-to-video-worthy than something theatrical, has some downright bizarre moments and contains some of the worst CGI I've ever seen, but at the same time, it's got a charm to it that makes it hard to hate. Most of the characters are actually pretty likeable, mainly Henry and his friends with their comradery, the acting itself is actually not that bad, the soundtrack is alright and most of all, it's really faithful to the source material. You can tell that the people working on this film understood the source material really well.

    Overall, I kinda have a soft spot for this movie. It's no masterpiece for sure, but rewatching it has given me some nostalgic vibes. There's much worse stuff out there.

    Psychological Kids Horror

    Firstly, Angelica Houston is in this film. Just let that fact permeate your mind, then watch as your sense of reality untangles itself and pours out of your ears and onto the floor in a pool of brain soup.

    Angelica Houston is in this film. How on earth did that happen?

    Now for the film: A group of reactionary and psychologically abusive adults spend 90 minutes shouting at their children until they morph into a clichéd group of personality disorders.

    The kids are either good or bad, horrid or perfect. And they've learned to shout and scream at each other because they find certain behaviours unacceptable. It's a Freudian car crash.

    No doubt these poor kids are destined for a life of depression, alcoholism, and dysfunctional relationships. At least one of them will be arrested; another sectioned under the Mental Health Act; several will go onto psychologically torture their own children.

    It's not my cup of tea, but I'm not the intended audience. I'd rather watch Koyaanisqatsi. So I'll be fair and score it 5/10.

    Not quite horrid, but a real disappointment

    I love the books and the TV series, and although I was very dubious of seeing Horrid Henry:The Movie, especially after hearing it had 3D and Dick and Dom, part of me was eager to see it. So I did, expecting an entertaining enough movie on its own terms.

    What I got was a real disappointment. It wasn't horrid, but overall it was the weakest films I've seen so far this year and one of the most disappointing. The only good things for me were Theo Stevenson's spirited performance and the jaunty soundtrack.

    Firstly I didn't like how the film looked. It was certainly colourful but also in a sense over-saturated. Horrid Henry:The Movie was quite badly edited as well, constantly it felt very awkward and rushed.

    The costumes are also rather cartoony in style. I wasn't happy that Horrid Henry:The Movie would have 3D effects, I frankly didn't think it needed it, and after seeing I still wasn't happy. I still think they were unnecessary, and the lack of clarity and sharpness in the effects themselves cheapened the film for me.

    The story was another minus, overall I found it very rushed and predictable with little of the charm and simplicity that the books and TV series had. The only thing I liked about the story was the lack of the over-sentimental(or it can be) "I love you son" sort of ending.

    The writing was messy, the dialogue is often weak and the laughs feel forced. When I saw it the closest the audience came to laughing were a couple of barely audible giggles. Kids either had a sort of amused expression or a sense they weren't sure whether they were supposed to laugh but a lot of adults looked as though they wished they had a triple detention instead.

    The cast are talented, but at least to me the film just seemed like an excuse to bring in as many British or TV personalities as possible. Many of them try hard and overdo it, Richard E.Grant definitely applies here, or are wasted, Jo Brand, or don't try, Matthew Horne.

    I know they deliberately exaggerated Miss Lovely's character, or so it seemed, but the characterisation was a little too over-eager and sugary for my tastes. Anjelica Huston fares better, she is a wonderful actress and while she overdoes the accent she clearly seems to be enjoying herself. If I had to ask myself what was the most painful bit about this movie? I'd say aside from the poor writing and the unnecessary 3D, it has to be the abysmally unfunny appearance of Dick and Dom.

    All in all, a real disappointment. 3/10 Bethany Cox

    What were you expecting!?

    It cracks me up when adults review films aimed at children and give them a battering. This does pretty much what it says on the tin - my 3 and 6 year olds have watched this many times and it's pretty bearable even as an adult. I am happy to be a little (!) older than the target audience. A decent effort with CGIs too to be fair. And can anyone tell me of a film where the 3D effects HAVEN'T been a gratuitous waste of time!?

    In short, my six year old daughter now wants to be a rock star and considers herself to be too cool for school.

    Oh, err, hold on a sec.... :-)
