Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie Reviews

Movie Reviews

• this one generally settles for noisy, though it throws in a positive message at the end

  by Neil Genzlinger [NY Times ]

• there's a blissful silliness to all this that works on adults and kids alike

  by Jane Horwitz [Washington Post ]

• for a film that is almost entirely based on toilet humor of the fourth grade reading level, you may be surprised that there is some sage wisdom to be found in the saga of Captain Underpants

  by Katie Walsh [LA Times ]

• faithful to the whoopee-cushion spirit of Dav Pilkey's books, with some sly humor for grown-ups

  by Rafer Guzman [Newsday ]

• director David Soren stays true to the source material, from the title character's signature "Tra-la-laa" to the page-turning Flip-o-Rama

  by Jody Mitori [St. Louis Post-Dispatch ]

• director David Soren (Turbo) and screenwriter Nicholas Stoller, (Storks, Get Him to the Greek) have an appropriate amount of fun with a slightly inappropriate story

  by Kathryn Laskaris [Toronto Star ]

• adults will appreciate that message. But this flick is really for the kids, who'll laugh and "Tra-la-laaaa" all the way home

  by Ariel Scotti [NY Daily News ]
