Elder "...the boring second cousin of Spy Kids." more... C+ Dallas Morning News Nancy Churnin "... the ever-appealing Mr. Muniz of Malcolm in the Middle and Ms. Bynes of Nickelodeon's The Amanda Show...keep the madcap antics at such an enjoyable fever pitch that you don't care how increasingly improbable the plot is getting." more... B   E! Online "Playfully fun and equally witty, both kids and parents will thoroughly enjoy this one." more... B+ Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen "...display[s] zero imagination and even less charm..." more...

B- Reelviews James Berardinelli "A lame collection of dumber-than-dumb gags..." more...

B- San Francisco Chronicle "...a children's movie that's almost worth seeing even when not accompanied by a child. It's certainly a painless experience, and at times it's quite funny." more... B   TV Guide Maitland McDonagh "Fresh-faced leads Muniz and Bynes are charmers, Giamatti makes Wolf into a splendidly loathsome adversary, and the film is refreshingly free of bodily function jokes." more... B   USA Today Claudia Puig "The predictable story is saved by the considerable charm of Muniz..." more... C+ * Yahoo! Movies converts each critic's published rating into a letter grade.
