90Delicious slapstick, droll wit and terrific characters make Aardman's first venture in CG cartooning a great success.
-
90It is a relief to encounter such exuberant and infectious silliness.
-
90Shot through with cheeky wit and hilarious musical numbers by the aforementioned slugs, Flushed Away features an eye-popping boat chase through London's watery nether regions, as well as the winning vocal talent of Kate Winslet, Bill Nighy and Ian McKellen, doing his best Sydney Greenstreet. Well done!
-
88This year's wittiest animated adventure saga.
-
83Flushed Away lacks the action-contraption dottiness of a Wallace and Gromit adventure, but it hits its own sweet spot of demented delight.
-
83This computer-animated feature is consistently inventive, if a bit busy and overlong.
-
83It's not life-changing stuff, but it's brisk and clever and funny and avoids some of the predictable pitfalls that hobble so many films of its ilk.
-
83It's filled to overflowing with mischievous gags for kids and adults alike, tickling the periphery of the story and crammed into every frame with playful abandon. It gives potty humor a good name.
-
83As with the Wallace & Gromit films, most of the fun is in the deft characterizations, the zippy banter, and the joyous sight gags.
-
80The best animated movie of the year and only a whisker shy of the brilliance of Wallace and Gromit.
-
The film offers rousing adventures that kids will love and witty humor that adults can appreciate.
-
80Though it lacks "Wallace and Gromit"'s charm, its mile-a-minute inventiveness is impressive.
-
75While you watch, be sure to scour the background for in-jokes, including cameos by Gromit and other DreamWorks characters, and rest assured that Flushed Away gets even funnier on second viewing.
-
75How this thing got made in Hollywood is a mystery, but I laughed at most of it, especially the mean stereotypes about the French and the even meaner stereotype about England's soccer team.
-
75As scatalogical affairs go, Flushed Away shows remarkable buoyancy.
-
75For a movie that takes place mostly in the bowels of a sewer, Flushed Away has some surprisingly charming moments.
-
75Lively if derivative romp.
-
75It's better than 90% of the animated fare of the last few years. It's refreshing not to have to qualify the movie's appeal by appending the words, "for the kids."
-
75This is a sewer blessedly free of actual sewage, which makes Flushed Away more kid-friendly than, say, the average "South Park" episode.
-
75The best sections of Flushed Away, those featuring a nefarious French operative known as Le Frog (a hilarious Jean Reno), are also the most peculiarly British; no one lampoons the French with a better mixture of hard-earned loathing and grudging respect than the Brits.
-
What's not to love about a movie in which thousands of rodents stand together against a Big Wave generated by TV-watching soccer fans flushing their toilets at halftime?
-
70Result is a kidpic long on invention but short on likability.
-
70This delightful computer animation is less twee than Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, with more action and a broader American sensibility.
-
Flushed Away has a wicked, smart, and subtle sense of humor.
-
63This computer-animated feature rivals "Cars" for the year's most visually exciting cartoon, but watch your step - most of the movie takes place in the London sewers, where the script may have been conceived.
-
63Parents will while away the time in moderate boredom until the film unexpectedly springs to life in its midsection, then just as abruptly goes back to sleep.
-
63Though Flushed Away certainly aims to please viewers of all ages, it's the anglophiles of all ages who are going to get the most out of the film.
-
50After the fourth electrocution gag, the 10th smack in the face and the 12th assault on a wee rodent crotch, we could all use something quiet.
