  1. Its pleasures are slight and fleeting, and so many movies have done what it does, and done it much better, that there's nothing to get even remotely excited about - much less to draw audiences into theaters.

    Paramount Pictures proudly informs us that the PG rating is for “mild, crude humor.” Too mild, too crude by far. If I were you, I’d take the wee ones and run for the vastly superior “Finding Nemo.”
  3. 30
    Rugrats Go Wild! represents one giant leap forward for corporate cartoon synergy, but one similarly large step back for the Rugrats franchise.

    There is little here to hold the attention of anyone older than 9. For families in search of entertainment, it may be time to find Nemo again.

    Screechily abrasive and sorely lacking in elements that engage the imagination.
  6. The exuberance of the Rugrats seems nullified by the effete quirkiness of the Thornberrys.

    This frantic sequel finds the diaper-obsessed heroes and their foolish parents marooned on a desert island, where they encounter the family from a more charming Nickelodeon cartoon.
  8. The exception is Willis as Spike. He's got more energy than the rest of the cast combined.
  9. As matinee probations go, the movie's tainted by too many bad songs and too much of Bruce Willis.
  10. It's an uncoordinated, flailing hodgepodge of music videos, chases, crashes and moronic plot twists.

  2. if you thought the first rugrats was the best in the series then you haven't seen this and the rugrats in paris one cause you have no idea what your missing out. Full Review »
  3. A step down from the first sequel, Rugrats go Wild is exactly its namesake. The plot is wild and it really gets out of hand. A crossover between Rugrats and Wild Thornberrys could have been a little better executed. Full Review »
