VarietyJoe Leydon
Small children who will accept it as rock-'em, sock-'em excitement with a touch of gender-specific empowerment, and hipper teens and grown-ups who can appreciate the whole thing as a semisatirical hoot. Read full review

Offers cleverness and charm that are hard to come by in the summertime multiplex. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineAngel Cohn
The action sequences are so franticly dizzying that they make "Run Lola Run" look as though it unfolds in slow motion. Read full review

Baltimore SunChris Kaltenbach
There's a wonderfully funny and relentlessly cute 45-minute cartoon within The Powerpuff Girls Movie; unfortunately, it's padded out with almost as much filler.

Isn't much, it's just lively enough to placate its limited audience to make it an easy choice over "Scooby-Doo's" stale Alpo. Read full review

All in all, as products go, The Powerpuff Girls Movie is an honest one, probably better constructed than the trio's lunchbox and a little more reasonably priced than their T-shirts. But it's still a product, not a picture. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth Weitzman
While the series is smart enough to have inspired an army of adult fans, too little of its droll intelligence is on view here. Instead, the film feels like a rote effort made for some quick box-office bucks.
