 "...there is not much of a plot or story, but a string of disjoined set-pieces, some better than others.... the flimsy tale spans different exotic places around the world..." |

 "...uneven and excessive, just like the movie that inspired it. End result is a non-fictional work that's equal parts captivating, provocative and pure pleasure." |

 "...borrows heavily from the 'Ice Age' movies.... has ample antic energy, especially in the visuals department... young, undiscriminating viewers should have a good time..." |

 "...not funny or witty enough.... there is no good chemistry, no erotic charge, between Fey and Rudd, who seem better suited to play good friends than romantic lovers." |

 "Antoine Fuqua can still make a mean action thriller... an often unsettling, sometimes silly, but always patriotic nailbiter.... an old-school war movie." |

 "A good deal of the joy derives from the feature's vivacious characters, four young and talented Australian Aboriginal girls from a remote mission... vibrantly directed..." |

 "It's a testament to Leconte's idiosyncratic sensibility that he handles difficult, perhaps even impossible material in a charming, darkly humorous way..." |

 "...sentimental in tone and conventional in form.... written and directed with passion... lovingly shows that the song is much more than a tale of Jewish kitsch..." |

 "...sharply uneven... The comedy is yet another variation of the 'Odd Couple'... there are too many repeitions of ideas and recyclings of similar jokes..." |
