Critic Reviews

Sean Axmaker

There's a real gee-whiz kick to the fantasy of being the brainiest kid on the planet, and a down-to-earth quality to Jimmy and his not-so-bright, but ever-so-stalwart best buddies. Read full review

F. X. Feeney

A witty, well-crafted comedy that combines primal slapstick with sharp satiric banter to keep children and parents laughing together. Read full review

Roger Ebert

It doesn't have the little in-jokes that make "Shrek" and "Monsters, Inc." fun for grown-ups. But adults who appreciate the art of animation may enjoy the look of the picture. Read full review

Todd McCarthy

Moppet appeal of the present feature rests in three can't-miss concepts -- cool gadgets, the desire to see grownups disappear and space travel. Pic delivers on all three points and doesn't have to do a whole lot more. Read full review

Dana Stevens

After Jimmy Neutron was over, I felt glassy-eyed and a little headachy. But the boy genius who accompanied me to the screening could not take his eyes off the screen. I think he's in his room right now, building a shrink ray to try out on his dad. Read full review

Gene Seymour

The movie's clatter and whiz-bang suggests more humor than there actually is. Read full review

Dan Via

Frenetic and uninvolving. Read full review

This movie's a genius. Lovable characters and a decent plot that actually works. Now it's time for you people to face the wrath of my positive score against this user score.
