BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
StephenBurg In Nickelodeon's fifth theatrical movie based on their world famous Nicktoons, the Rugrats and the Wild Thornberrys come together. Rugrats, SpongeBob, Ren and Stimpy and Wild Thornberrys were Nickelodeon's most famous shows, so, that being said, you can see why I think this is a gimmick. The movie starts like the other two: with the babies believing their in a parody; this time it's a very loose reference to The Wild Thornberrys. It reveals that Nigel Thornberry is the babies' hero as everyday they watch his nature show. In a completely unrelated plot, Stu takes all the families on a cruise, but they all end up on an island where the Thornberrys picked for their next expedition. (A bit too coincidental, don't you think?)The adults try to plan ways to get out of their island prison while the babies go off on another weird and somewhat gross adventure, this time they come face-to-face with their amnesiac hero, Angelica is with Debbie and we finally hear what Spike has to say while he talks with Eliza. The writing went a bit too far; they could have gone without a few subplots. Random numbers appear all over the place for a "Scrath and Sniff" contest that nobody remembers. This was my first movie in theaters.My Rating: 5/10 Rated PG for Mild Rude Humor
Ginger87 "Rugrats Go Wild!" was a wild movie featuring the Rugrats characters meeting the characters from the Wild Thornberrys. Since I am a fan of the Rugrats, even though the newer episodes weren't as good, I went opening weekend. I really enjoyed it and so did my sister and our friends.This movie wasn't as good as the previous two, but it was still very funny and well made. It was interesting listening to Spike speak(even though he did speak in one of Chuckie's dreams on a Rugrats episode)! The spoofs from the The Poseidon Adventure and Angelica singing "The Morning After" was hysterical. However I was upset when, Lil one of my favorite characters, didn't eat the bug.(What happened?) Overall this was a really good movie and all Rugrats fan should give it a try. I give it 10/10!
Sportswhizz2004 When the first trailers came out, I was very excited about it, when I saw it on June 13th, it was horrible, there was no goofiness.Rugrats in Paris was better. Why would babies risk their lives to find Nigel Thornberry. Bruce Willis does not match Spike. I did like the idea of Stu learning to get his respect back nuf said. Movie will get a 5/15, sniff and scratch was dull. Chuckie and Donnie were boring I hated the idea of Lil not eating bugs again. Telling Phil to put it down What happened?
Victor Field The end credits for "Rugrats Go Wild!" include a section headed "Klasky Csupo Accounting," which unfortunately figures; this third theatrical outing for the Rugrats and second one for the Wild Thornberrys plays more like a marketing exercise than an actual movie.With this big-screen crossover of two TV shows, you'd think that they'd both get equal time, but due to their show having been more successful and having their full name in the title (it was originally called "Rugrats Meet The Wild Thornberrys" before someone decided that was too obvious), Tommy, Chucky and the rest get more time on screen than the far more appealing Eliza Thornberry and Co; it's not until near the end that they're on anything like equal footing, and by then the movie's been sabotaged by a plot that's too skimpy for words (the Pickles, Finster and DeVille families - plus Susie - get stranded on the same island that the Thornberrys have pitched up on for their latest jaunt, and cue much running around and shrieking), an ounce of actual amusement amongst a ton of shrill and strained gags, too many characters squeezed into too little time, and far too many songs, pop or otherwise (Chrissie Hynde. Why?).Having Bruce Willis do the voice of Spike doesn't help much, and neither does including some of the most heavy-handed movie references this side of a Leslie Nielsen comedy. In fact, the movie officially becomes a waste of time when their boat capsizes and it turns into a mini-homage to "The Poseidon Adventure," capped by Angelica singing "The Morning After" in her toy karaoke machine. (If only she had been the character played by Stella Stevens.) But even that's more forgiveable than having Stu say "I can't help feeling partially responsible." Stealing lines from "The Simpsons" is the final insult... Eliza's older sister and Betty DeVille are the only ones to emerge intact. Note to Paramount: ENOUGH ALREADY!
