Rating: 3 stars
Summary: For little kids?
Review: Bad: After watching this with my cousins, I wasen't that impressed. In almost every sentence that comes out of Jimmy's mouth is a HUGE word that young children wouldn't understand. The whole movie was like this. There's no way kids can understand what he's saying. That was the big thing that really bothered me.

Good: This movie did have some interesting and very creative things in it. At the end of the movie, how they turned fair rides into space ships and showing how they launched off into space, each with their own creative way to 'lift off'. That's something that would catch any kids attention, maybe even a few groundups.

Even though the language is waaaaaaayyy over a kids head, the fact is that children would like this movie. Sense I am older, the jokes in this movie were very dul to me, but children think these kind of jokes are funny and it makes them laugh, isn't that what's truely important? This is the kind of movie that would bring out the imagination of a child! And children like that.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cute and very imaginative
Review: I suspect this movie will appeal more to the kid in the adult
than the kid in the kid. It's wonderfully imaginative, and it
fufills most kids' fantasy: do anything you want, and never get
hurt. Jimmy (in fact all the kids) flies through space in an
open cockpit, and nothing happens. They even camp outside
overnight on an asteroid--with a fire, even. And he's got a
great robo-dog that has more implements on him than the most
complex Swiss Army knife you can think of. I doubt I'll ever
eat chicken again, though.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: How could you not like this movie?
Review: Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius is one of the funniest and entertaining kid's movies of 2001, and for sure the best Nickelodeon creation ever! While the plot of Jimmy Neutron is fairly simple, starts with a bang and never lets down. The characters are given a depth I was suprised at, and the animation on DVD is unique and much better than seen in TV commercials- although not nearly as complex as that in Monster's, Inc. If you just want to have a plain good time, rent Jimmy Neutron- you'll be glad you did.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You will be laughing the whole movie!
Review: I have a 3 years old son, and together we have seen the movie a lot of times. It has excelent color and animation, and you'll be all time expecting what will wrong in next step.

Jimmy Neutron's parents are sweet and funny (at the end of the movie, check it!!), and shows a happy family. Their advices about not talking to strangers is a perfect way to the story.

If you are a adult-child, you'll enjoy and laugh out loud.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Looked Stupid, but it's good
Review: If you thought this was a dumb kids movie, your wrong. It's pretty funny. This movie teaches the importance of parents, but not in a corny way. It shows what could happen to you if you did anything you want without parents correcting. It even has true science facts in the movie. It has some sexual jokes that little kids cant understand, but funny for teens and adults. The pop music isn't that anoying and they still have dramatic orchestra music at the dramitic parts. Anyway, it's great for teens and kids.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Over Easy!
Review: CGI seems to becoming the standard. The good thing about CGI is that they take years to make and require a lot more than conventional animation. The result of this is typically far better movies than what we have been seeing lately with animated films. This is no exception. When aliens abduct their parents, the local children rely on Jimmy's big brain to help rescue them. The colors and graphics for this film are awesome. I actually enjoyed watching this with my children. Aimed for 5-10 year range, adults will find it entertaining as well.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Funny, witty, very entertaining
Review: This movie is very funny and the animation achieves a fluidity rarely seen in CGI animation and very nearly matches the masters--Warner Brothers and old Disney. The colors are bright and kid friendly, yet the dialogue, allusions and spoofs of everything from teen movies to comic books will entertain adults.

The animators have decided not to tread down the path that Pixar and SKG have gone with Toy Story and Shrek, i.e. the attempt to "copy" reality, and have, instead, pursued the outlandish whackiness that cartoons used to be known for. If some have criticized the animation, then they have been comparing apples to oranges.

I have kept my daughter (2 1/2) away from Nickolodeon because I find it generally tasteless, crass and repulsive--thus I was very pleasantly surprised at the result.

The characters are interesting and well drawn and played to the hilt by everyone involved.

One can only hope the inevitable sequels are done with as much verve and cleverness.

A couple of nitpicky items: I agree with the observations of some that Jimmy's father could be more complexly drawn. In this film he is a mere compliment to Jimmy's fiercely brilliant mother. It would also be a good thing for the children if there were a couple of adults (other than his mother) who were stronger role models. Mrs. Fowl, while funny, comes across as little more than a brain damaged Flo from Alice.

Bottom line: if you're a catroon fan you'll enjoy it as much as your younger children will. The "Cool Factor" will probably prevent "tweens" and "teens" from admitting they like this movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: My DVD Player threw-up!
Review: This movie gives nickeldodeon a bad name. It is booring and pointless and absolutley stupid.
This is the worst movie i've ever seen - do i reccomend it NO! Is it a good kids movie for younger kids NO!
Should anyone watch this dud NO!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I love this movie. I'm 40 years old.
Review: This is a very entertaining movie. Lots of fun! I particularly enjoyed the Warner Brothers' cartoon aesthetic. 3D doesn't have to be photorealistic! Love the characters. Great movie for kids too. You have to be in a really bad mood not to like this one. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that I would have liked to see production notes on the 3-D technology.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Uh... No...
Review: No. Just No. Half the time you watch Jimmy's big booty (don't wanna cuss) head taking half the picture up or being made fun of. Little children will be scared to death by his head. BUT IT'S NOT THAT "FUNNY"!!!
