Reviews for Scooby-Doo - The Movie
Top CriticScooby-Doo knows when to take itself seriously and when to laugh at itself -- even if its audience isn't laughing along at every gag.
07/20/02
Top CriticThe acting is stiff, the story lacks all trace of wit, the sets look like they were borrowed from Gilligan's Island -- and the CGI Scooby might well be the worst special-effects creation of the year.
06/19/02
Top CriticAs this movie knows what it is, Scooby-Doo's a relatively painless 85 minutes.
06/18/02
Top CriticThe movie drags, and the occasional bursts of mirth and self-referential humor can't save it from bogging down.

Top CriticIt's like an amalgam of Ghostbusters, Alien and the Pokemon movies -- minus all the good parts.
06/14/02
Top CriticAlthough Scooby-Doo falls far short of becoming the Blazing Saddles of Generations X, Y and Z, it is hard to resist in its moronic charms.
06/14/02
Top CriticNot that the TV show was so riveting, but most of the half-hour plots were more compelling than this lackluster warmover.
06/14/02
Top CriticLillard gives the flick its manic energy, and the rest of the gang holds its own.
06/14/02
Top CriticDo you really want to spend money watching what is essentially marginality, or would those dollars be better used to see a better film or even buy a good book?
06/14/02
Top CriticAny thinking, reasoning human being with an appreciation for cinema would reject it as the vilest trash. Needless to say, it cracked me up the whole way.
06/14/02
Top CriticGet out your pooper-scoopers.
06/14/02
Top CriticBy embracing the original series' tacky elements and inserting just enough self-mockery to avoid smugness, the movie manages to fulfill basic expectations.
06/14/02
Top CriticThe obnoxious special effects, the obligatory outbursts of flatulence and the incessant, so-five-minutes-ago pop music on the soundtrack overwhelm what is left of the scruffy, dopey old Hanna-Barbera charm.
06/14/02
Top CriticThis excruciating adaptation of the innocuous '70s cartoon show makes the film version of Josie and the Pussycats look sophisticated by comparison.
06/14/02
Top CriticEntertainment more disposable than Hanna-Barbera's half-hour cartoons ever were.
06/14/02
Top CriticA frenetic, cluttered $100-million worth of haphazard plotting, fart jokes, computer-generated monsters and visual chaos.
06/14/02
Top CriticIt may ... work as a jaunt down memory lane for teens and young adults who grew up on televised Scooby-Doo shows or reruns.
