The film takes a playful path through the uncomplicated plotline, beginning with a perfectly choreographed spoof on THE GODFATHER (replete with a sawed-off toy horse head), then launching into a series of upbeat songs narrating the story in styles ranging from rock and reggae to jazz and R&B. The story follows little Chuckie, who wants his single father to remarry so he can get a new mommy. Teased by his bossy friend Angela, Chuckie feels even worse about his situation. But when the father of his pal Tommy gets assigned to go to Paris on business, taking the whole Rugrats gang with him, things begin to change. From the bateaux mouches to the Arc de Triomphe, the Rugrats enjoy some valuable sightseeing, then descend upon Euroreptarland, a theme park located in the center of Paris. Along the way, Chuckie thinks up a perfect scheme for getting a new mom. With fun music and fast-moving graphics balancing out the obligatory jokes about diapers, babies' butts, and poop, RUGRATS IN PARIS: THE MOVIE will thrill fans of these wild toddlers. [More]

Reviews for Rugrats in Paris
Rugrats in Paris - The Movie might not be the greatest film geared for children with adults also in mind, but it's clearly an enjoyable one in its own right.
Seems more like a merchandising ploy than a successful attempt to entertain kids and their parents.
A very good kids' movie from a grown-up standpoint -- it has a coherent plot, a good pace and well-defined characters, and a funny monster-movie spoof at the finale.
If you're a parent, you could do a heck of a lot worse than taking the spawn off to catch Rugrats in Paris and if you're a kid, well, you probably already knew that anyway.
A meaningful tale that should resonate even for the most jaded older viewers.
For grown-ups, the jokes are often flat tires, largely thanks to their context.
Rugrats again blends poignancy with fun in a way that touches parents, even as it goes for kids with a run of bodily function and booger jokes.
Thesp voicings are outstanding, and sometimes reach the level of comic warmth of the Toy Story ensemble.
