Critic Reviews

Christian Science Monitor - David Sterritt

The result is fine fantasy fun. Read full review

Time - Richard Schickel

It's a modest little fantasy. But it's also well made, unpretentious and refreshing. Read full review

Chicago Reader - Lisa Alspector

Vigilant viewers may spend many of the 101 minutes fixating on tiny holes in the plot, but I was busy being moved by the premise and the filmmakers' confidence in the power of their metaphor: a little boy who's disappointed in the man he grew up to be. Read full review

Salon - Andrew O'Hehir

Perfectly acceptable entertainment in the Mouse Factory's most familiar vein. Read full review

Mr. Showbiz - Cody Clark

Every time the movie seems poised to veer into watchability, however, Turteltaub is there, like a beat cop for the Fun Police, reminding us to laugh, sigh, or tear up. Read full review

Austin Chronicle - Kimberley Jones

A lightweight, intermittently engaging comedy. Read full review

Village Voice - Jessica Winter

The Kid's denouement resembles the nightmare that would have transpired had execs foisted a toupee and a happy ending on "12 Monkeys." Read full review

This is a wonderful family movie with a lot of funny and warm moments. Bruce Willis and Spencer Breslin were fantastic.
