United Kingdom	Angie Errigo Empire	"It's amusing, which is possibly as much as anyone could ask, and the assortedly animated friends are cleverly done. You could do much worse for family entertainment (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"A movie that is sort of funny some of the time and then occasionally hilarious (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Lisa Alspector Chicago Reader	"Brendan Fraser is convincingly dumb and charming (...) A perfect use of digital technology"	POS
United Kingdom	John Ferguson Radio Times	"[An] engagingly stupid spin on the 'Tarzan' movies (...) [It] packs in enough dim-witted slapstick to make even the most sophisticated grown-ups chuckle (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Kelly Kessler Common Sense Media	"This is a charming and entertaining film. With a buff Fraser"	POS
