	Author	Review
United States	Miami Herald	"What makes 'The Rugrats Movie' such satisfying family entertainment is that it knows how to please everyone"	POS
United Kingdom	Neil Jeffries Empire	"Fun for kids, but, despite some adult references, appeal for the over 10s is limited."	NEU
United States	Anita Gates The New York Times	"The pleasant surprise is that the film is a delight."	POS
United States	Peter Stack SFGATE	"The film has a satirical edge that won't be lost on adults but retains a sense of innocence and a joyful toddler's outlook."	POS
United States	Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly	"Writers raised with Dr. Spock and Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood as spiritual guides. But the creative team also dispatches overeducated parenthood and post-permissive childhood with wry, observant wit."	POS
United States	Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	"Dizzy, delightful and just a bit deviant, 'The Rugrats Movie' blends all the sarcastic sensibility of "The Simpsons" with the old-fashioned silliness of Soupy Sales."	POS
United States	TV Guide	"Intermittently snappy and featuring slicker animation than its TV incarnation, this popular children's cartoon may satisfy its youngest fans, but it'll be a big snoozefest for the rest of the family."	NEG
United States	Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times	"'The Rugrats Movie' is warm yet minus the gooey sentimentality of so many animated movies for kids."	POS
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"Aimed squarely at moppets with minuscule attention spans, “The Rugrats Movie” is a fast and frenetic animated feature that should delight young aficionados of the long-running Nickelodeon TV series."	POS
