Little White Lies - Anton Bitel | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'funny, but you might just choke on your laughter' |
|
The Independent on Sunday - Nicholas Barber | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'If the plot is admirably linear, all the more time and trouble have been invested in the delightful characters, visual gags, and zinging dialogue that parodies disaster-movie conventions without playing Spot the Film Pastiche.' |
|
The Sunday Times - Edward Porter | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'The pair also provide lots of good, silly jokes and a pacy plot ? and, to allow us to savour its flavour to the fullest, the film is being served in 3-D.' |
|
Evening Standard | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'the best way to describe it is as a really good episode of The Simpsons.' |
|
The Daily Telegraph - Tim Robey | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'What an unexpected treat this turns out to be ? as messy and riotous as a kindergarten food- fight, with teacher tied up in the corner.' |
|
The Sun - The Sneak | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'Any film with man-eating roasted chickens and a romantic date in a palace sculpted from jelly is great as far as your critic is concerned.' |
|
Time Out - Tom Huddleston | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'Fusing snappy one-liners with a kid-friendly seam of slapstick incorporating everything from talking monkeys to homicidal Gummi Bears, the script provokes comparison with comedy from The Marx Brothers to ?The Mighty Boosh'. |
|
New York Times - Daniel M. Gold | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'a predictable tale of youthful ambition, love and the quest for approval, yet without leaving a sappy or snarky aftertaste' |
|
The Independent - Robert Hanks | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'It's not The Incredibles, but it has a solid gag ratio and good animation (the spaghetti tornado is spectacular).' |
|
The Times - Toby Young | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'lacks the charm of some other recent offerings in this genre, but it has enough grown-up gags to keep the adults amused and their children will laugh themselves silly at the sight of police officers being drenched in Cheese Whiz.' |
