Nauseating gags suggest the makers of this eclectically animated adventure... know their audience, though all the Godfather references will be thoroughly puzzling to at least half of it.

The writing team is adept at childish malapropisms and the skewed perspectives of 5-year-olds, but the characterizations and plot lines are witheringly simplistic.

The Rugrats are back for an all-new adventure, and one that is by far much funnier and more entertaining for both youngsters and their guardians than the first bigscreen outing.

There are also nice themes about bravery, honesty and trust, the animation is astonishingly good, and the constant mayhem makes the very obvious plot bearable.

A Tour de France of its own in the Rugrats' latest, funniest and most colorful big-screen trip.

The Rugrats team has come up with a funny, smart and genuinely moving movie that will please children and adults.

It doesn't matter how weak the script is, Chuckie will win your heart every time he opens his mouth and speaks in that timid, nasal-dripping voice. You can bet on it.

Chuckie's odyssey is sentimental stuff. Heck, it might even choke you up. But, in the end, it's all about the marketing.
