The Hollywood Reporter | Luke SaderAdd Critic to Favorites

It will never be confused with the groundbreaking "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," but when it comes to a zippy live-action-meets-animation kid flick with plenty of grown-up gags, Looney Tunes: Back in Action does not disappoint. Read the full review

Washington Post | Stephen HunterAdd Critic to Favorites

Delightful, delicious and destructive. Read the full review

Slate | David EdelsteinAdd Critic to Favorites

A nutty, zany, wacky, unruly, spastically hilarious hodgepodge that hits at least twice as often as it misses—which is a big deal, since there are more gags per square foot of celluloid than in any film since Joe Dante's "Gremlins 2: The New Batch" (1990).Read the full review

Boston Globe | Ty BurrAdd Critic to Favorites

The joy is in the details, and they are unrelentingly comic.Read the full review

Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites

USA Today | Mike ClarkAdd Critic to Favorites

Even when the movie works, it's so much like having Daffy Duck assault your face that you want to buy a box set of elevator music for the calming drive home. Read the full review

The New York Times | Stephen HoldenAdd Critic to Favorites

If the movie has loads of nerve, its ambitious fusion of cartoons and live-action comedy is only fitfully amusing.Read the full review

Variety | Brian LowryAdd Critic to Favorites

A not-inventive-enough romp that belches out gags at a rapid-fire clip but connects so sporadically as to leave the audience enervated but only sparingly entertained. Read the full review
