Entertainment WeeklyBruce Fretts
Packs appeal for both kids and parents. Read full review

VarietyRobert Koehler
Though animated sequels of popular kids' fare tend to perform lower than their progenitors, this one should buck the trend. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyNicole Campos
A running spoof of "The Godfather" is especially hilarious, as are numerous, sly digs at all things Disney. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert
The point is, adults can attend this movie with a fair degree of pleasure. That's not always the case with movies for kids, as no parent needs to be reminded. There may even be some moms who insist that the kids need to see this movie. You know who you are. Read full review

Remarkably poignant (and pungent) when it comes to child psychology. Read full review

Village VoiceRichard Gehr
Nicely conveys a family trip abroad as seen from both the exhausted-parent and bewildered-infant points of view. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc Savlov
If you're a parent, you could do a heck of a lot worse than taking the spawn off to catch Rugrats in Paris and if you're a kid, well, you probably already knew that anyway. Read full review

Seattle Post-IntelligencerPaula Nechak
More chic and movie-savvy than its predecessor. Read full review

Mr. ShowbizMichael Atkinson
The frequent song interludes will distract the kids (but send the adults into comas), and the anti-Disney satire rages as never before. Read full review

New York PostLou Lumenick
Seems more like a merchandising ploy than a successful attempt to entertain kids and their parents. Read full review

Filled with skewed humor, inventive animation and earthy jokes. Read full review

Chicago ReaderLisa Alspector
The makers of this eclectically animated adventure, a follow-up to "The Rugrats Movie," know their audience, though all the "Godfather" references will be thoroughly puzzling to at least half of it. Read full review

Charlotte ObserverLawrence Toppman
It's a mass of interchangeable moving images, none much more significant than the others, linked to a plot looser than a 2-year-old's shoelaces. Read full review

Chicago TribuneLoren King
Isn't novel entertainment, but adults who accompany kids to it are not likely to feel that it is a form of abuse for either of them. Read full review

Boston GlobeLoren King
Predictable and not terribly clever, but among the slim pickings of movies geared to the pre-school and grade-school set, it could be much worse. Read full review

Miami HeraldSara Wildberger
Where it succeeds smashingly is in the sound department. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobin Rauzi
All of this film's faults are nearly forgiven for the short but memorable scene of sumo wrestlers singing a karaoke version of "Bad Girls." Read full review

Great movies are sometimes described as filet mignon or champagne, but this one is more like a pacifier. Read full review
