    Little more than a typical TV segment writ large for the mutiplexes.

    It's refreshingly non-violent, unflashy, not smart alecky and mercifully free of insipid songs.

    These spin-offs remain animation on the cheap, and none yet -- straitjacketed by fidelity to its respective series -- has attained the density of image and kineticism of design of the art form's true originals.

    The film hasn't much entertainment value for those much over the age of 10. There's not a thing in the world wrong with that.

    For even the little ones in the audience, Doug's First Movie will feel long and drawn out.

    If you like Doug in 15-minute segments, you’ll probably like him all right for 77 minutes.

    No harm done, really, but nothing of lasting value either.

    Not inspired children's entertainment, but it has a certain charm.

    When you’re aiming for the tyke market, this 73-minute feature is more than able to keep the kids from squirming in their seats.

    My advice is to see this film only in case of extenuating circumstances.

    I fell sound asleep during the proceedings, only to be awakened by the usher for having my feet draped over the seat in front of me.

    There's enough quirky charm, light-hearted humor and fresh ideas to appeal to both younger children, eager to grow up, and to older viewers looking back on the dawn of their own awkward adolescence.

    The "Doug" universe is too sweet and too light to travel into the big, wide, often indelicate territory of feature films.
