Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

hscott-44461 This show was released in 2003 so it was near the era when Nickelodeon rocked and still aired good shows, "All Grown Up!" is definitely one of them.The show focuses on the main characters from the original Rugrats series 10 years older and this was a pretty interesting idea, seeing them out of the pen and into the world where they tackle tougher problems.The characters are pretty much the same as they were in Rugrats except older. Tommy who's the leader of the group and still looks out for the others, Chuckie who's a risk taker and does look out for Kimi, being a responsible step-brother plus he does give Tommy good advice, Phil and Lil who are more independent from each other but are still caring siblings, Susie who pursues a career in singing and focuses on her future in college but still a great friend, Angelica is much nicer in this series where at 3 years of age she was hell spawn, but now she's a lot more tolerable in this series, Kimi who likes to help others and of course Dil, Tommy's younger brother who's definitely my favorite character from the show. He has a much bigger role in this series which I'm really glad to see. He is weird but nice, smart, caring, isn't afraid of trying new things and doesn't care about what other people think of him.The episodes themselves are pretty compelling, I really liked "Coup DeVille", "Lucky 13", "O Bro, Where Art Thou?", "All Broke Up" and especially the longer episodes like "R.V. Having Fun Yet?" and "Dude, Where's My Horse?" which almost felt like full length movies than regular episodes. In some of the episodes themselves, I like the fact that they discuss more grown up and tougher hardships like going through a break-up or being framed by a con artist. This show was presumably for the people that grew up with Rugrats so they would be able to tackle these kinds of problems at a certain age.The animation is very good, the voice acting is solid, the episodes are enjoyable and some of the lines are pretty funny. Overall, a great spin-off to a great show and I would recommend it to anyone whether you're a Rugrats fan or not.

I_Am_The_Resurrection ALL GROWN UP is basically a spin off and not much else of the original Nickalodeon RUGRATS cartoon that featured the babies Tommy Pickles, Chucky Finster, Lil and Phil DeVille, Angelica, Susie and (later) Kimi (Chuckies sister) and Dill (Tommy's brother). I grew up with RUGRATS and thought it was a great cartoon. It had excellent humor, nice stories and the show's creators, Klasky & Csupo, were obviously very original and creative with the concept of the adventures of babies. The new show ALL GROWN UP tries to recapture the magic of the original cartoon. I was disappointed when I saw it. I found the "all-grown-up" Chuckie just annoying and the whole "pre-teen-acting-mature/trying-to-be-popular" that applied to (unfortunately) *all* of the characters dull and washed out. There still are some funny scenes and jokes in the new series and it was interesting how the artists would make the whole baby gang of RUGRATS look ten years from their age in the original show. Overall, this show is 'fair' and only watchable if a) you're a die-hard fan of the RUGRATS, b) have never seen the original show, c) you're a pre-teen that has nothing to do, or d) your so bored that your somehow forced to see this show. This show is not that good. It doesn't compare to the older RUGRATS episodes in quality, humor, and everything else.

theguys1 This is a show about teenager-wannabees that are 10 years old. The first few episodes of this were all right and they were doing well with Nickelodeon and I enjoyed them, but the new ones have easily-solved plots and spastic drama from (guess who) Angelica and Susie. My little sister watches this and I can see her sometimes getting ticked off because of the stupid lines of the characters. I'm trying to make this show bad and I'm also trying to make a persuasive argument. I could relate this to Fairly Oddparents, which also has easy-to-solve plots and sappy lines. Nickelodeon is going down the tubes and if 3-year-olds are watching it daily, don't be surprised if they start blurting out phrases like, "Whatever!" and, "So yesterday, galfriend!" I admit that I'm exaggerating this show, but with the previous sappy shows of Nickelodeon backing me up, my point is pretty clear.

aleusong I never saw the original special that started it all. I think it would've been better had this series not been made.Every episode I've seen stresses too heavy on the morals. Well it's a kid show, I suppose that's normal. But everything is recycled, and the main antagonists are those so-called cool kids that are nothing but assholes. "We say it's cool." That is so retarded! And that episode where Kimmy doesn't find out until she's like 12 or something that she's Japanese and wants to be more Japanese: #1 I don't think kids are that stupid and would know what ethnicity they are before they get too old #2 The moral of the episode seems to discourage having an interest in one's own true culture which really upsets me.There's a desperate cry for work on writing and characters. Among all things Dil is a FULL clone copy of Carl from "As Told By Ginger" another unoriginal show, while the rest of the cast only bear some similarities to other characters in personality.I'm not some freak who thought that this series was a bad idea from the start. I had hopes for it, but when I realized while watching how much of it has been done to death, I was outraged.The show lacks fantasy and wonder which was what makes The Rugrats special, nothing like its spin off at all.
