Critic Reviews

So good it breaks your heart for not being better. It is kept from brilliance by a soggy climax and a clumsy central narrative device.Full Review

Stephen Hunter
Washington Post

It's another overwrought clunker like "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," all effects and stunts and CGI and prosthetics, with no room for lightness and joy.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Long on visual dazzle but short on warmth, and the humor is excessively raunchy for a family film.Full Review

Claudia Puig
USA Today

Attractively designed, energetically performed and, above all, blessedly concise, this adaptation of one of the most popular American kids' books of all time walks the safe side of surrealism with its fur-flying shenanigans. The younger the viewers, the better reactions are bound to be.Full Review

Todd McCarthy
Variety

It's moderately engaging for the first half-hour, somewhat trying during the second half hour, and virtually unbearable over the final twenty minutes. It's a marginally recommendable film for kids, but not necessarily for parents.Full Review
