Jake Coyle, Associated Press: MODERATE (cg) "...a bland pic-a-nic, indeed.... Its best quality is that it moves along briskly, as if it knows -- and accepts -- just how thin its plot is." (Read the full review...) 471 words, 12/16/10 Claudia Puig, USA Today: WEAK (cg) "Yogi's smarts get lost amid the dullness of the screenplay.... familiar, ultra-predictable and remarkably bland.... Yogi deserves better than this barely there story." (Read the full review...) 403 words, 12/16/10
Mike Hale, New York Times: POOR "We've seen this kind of talking-animal ecological parable quite a few times already, and this one is so generic, it wouldn't pass muster on Saturday-morning television." (Read the full review...) 381 words, 12/17/10 Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: MODERATE (cg) "...none of the three screenwriters strained himself with effort. But the relative lack of coarseness and snark may come as a surprising relief, even to 21st-century audiences." (Read the full review...) 348 words, 12/17/10 Michael Phillips, Los Angeles Times/Chicago Tribune: POOR "...gives cheap hackwork a bad name. Which is a shame, because hackwork made this industry.... comes to criminally little.... It's barely 70 minutes long without the end credits." (Read the full review...) 390 words, 12/17/10 Kyle Smith, New York Post: WEAK (cg) "...lacks even the zinging toddler anarchy of the 'Alvin and the Chipmunks' movies. It's more like the dim 'Underdog' movie a couple of years ago." (Read the full review...) 479 words, 12/17/10 Rafer Guzman, New York Newsday: WEAK (cg) "Poorly made and unoriginal could describe both Hanna-Barbera's animated character Yogi Bear, who first appeared in 1958, and Warner Bros.' 3-D movie 'Yogi Bear'..." (Read the full review...) 302 words, 12/17/10 Nell Minow, Chicago Sun-Times: MODERATE (cg) "...the cartoon bear makes an uneven transition from the very simplified storyline and animation of a seven-minute hand-drawn cartoon to a live-action feature film." (Read the full review...) 745 words, 12/17/10 Melissa Anderson, Village Voice/LA Weekly: POOR "Rock-bottom expectations are rewarded, sort of... this 21st-century Yogi proves to be an unbearable mugger." (Read the full review...) 213 words, 12/15/10 Jennie Punter, Toronto Globe & Mail: MODERATE (cg) "...palatable live-action/animated entertainment suitable for family consumption.... does not mess with a 50-year tradition." (Read the full review...) 634 words, 12/17/10 Radheyan Simonpillai, Toronto Now: WEAK (cg) "...most of the film's sly winks and tongue-in-cheek humour will go over a five-year-old's head. The pandering pratfalls and clichéd gags don't help." (Read the full review...) 165 words, 12/16/10
Dan Kois, Washington Post: WEAK (cg) "Hey, Boo Boo! Zzzzzzzz..." (Read the full review...) 501 words, 12/17/10 Mick LaSalle, Houston Chronicle/San Francisco Chronicle: VERY GOOD (cg) "...adults with children, who are used to getting bored out of their skulls with children's fare, may find in this a refreshing and politically charged change of pace." (Read the full review...) 526 words, 12/17/10 Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: POOR (cg) "No animal was harmed in the making of this picture except the one Hanna-Barbera made a bundle on almost 50 years ago." (Read the full review...) 425 words, 12/17/10 Rick Bentley, Arizona Republic: WEAK (cg) "Kids will be attracted to it like ants to a picnic. Their parents will be as entertained as having to deal with ants at a picnic." (Read the full review...) 379 words, 12/17/10 Ty Burr, Boston Globe: POOR (cg) "...actively painful, a frenetic, unfunny mix of action, romance, dud dialogue, and icky things popping out of the screen. There's a plot... but no one appears to notice." (Read the full review...) 469 words, 12/17/10 Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch: MODERATE (cg) "...a ho-hum hybrid of live action and computer animation, swipes a small ration of sweetness from the 1960s cartoon show but doesn't do much work of its own." (Read the full review...) 304 words, 12/17/10 Steve Persall, St. Petersburg Times: POOR (cg) "...the extra 3D surcharge at the box office simply isn't worth it. That is, unless you're in the mood for spit takes and snot rockets expelled toward the camera." (Read the full review...) 464 words, 12/16/10
Melissa Anderson, Village Voice/LA Weekly: POOR "Rock-bottom expectations are rewarded, sort of... this 21st-century Yogi proves to be an unbearable mugger." (Read the full review...) 213 words, 12/15/10 Mack Rawden, Cinema Blend: WEAK (cg) "I still love Yogi, just not as an environmental crusader." (Read the full review...) 803 words, 12/17/10 Alicia Potter, Boston Phoenix: WEAK (cg) "None of it is funny or entertaining... Boring, pointless, and instantly forgettable, this return to Jellystone Park is no picnic." (Read the full review...) 145 words, 12/16/10 Scott Tobias, AV Club: POOR (cg) "...it doesn't diminish its source material: There was never much to the character, beyond the agreeable shtick and enough variations on the pic-a-nic basket gag..." (Read the full review...) 328 words, 12/16/10 Simon Abrams, Slant: POOR (cg) "...pretty bad, but it's not apocalyptically horrid... not the spectacular failure that the film's wildly inappropriate poster promised -- it's just a garden-variety mess." (Read the full review...) 540 words, 12/16/10 Radheyan Simonpillai, Toronto Now: WEAK (cg) "...most of the film's sly winks and tongue-in-cheek humour will go over a five-year-old's head.

Justin Chang, Daily Variety: FAIR "...bland and innocuous... retains a measure of the original Hanna-Barbera cartoon's charm, though scarcely enough to justify the time, expense and visual-effects trickery..." (Read the full review...) 665 words, 12/12/10 Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter: POOR "Poor Yogi Bear. At 52, he finally gets his first movie role and the film is likely to send viewers over the age of 10 into hibernation.... the story is so-o-o-o-o tired."
