Critic Reviews for Paper Planes

All Critics (27) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (23) | Rotten (4)

  • Terry Norris steals the show as the irrepressible grandpa who has little intention of putting his rakish fighter-pilot past behind him.

    October 25, 2015 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

    Mark Kermode

    Observer (UK)

  • Ed Oxenbould, the talented Aussie child actor also recently seen in The Visit, gives another appealing performance in this otherwise bland and flimsy kids' movie.

    October 23, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

    Geoffrey Macnab

    Independent (UK)

  • The planes' flight is invariably CGI-assisted, and the resulting comedy is mild, but there is a relaxed, happy atmosphere.

    Peter Bradshaw

    Guardian

  • Kudos to this bright and breezy half-term Aussie kids flick for realising that competitive paper plane flying can unleash young imaginations.

    October 20, 2015 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

    Trevor Johnston

    Time Out

  • It's a simple premise but rich in subtext, delivering a pointed message to the generation responsible for Australia's future.

    Sydney Morning Herald

  • Parents are likely to find it a welcome reprieve from dancing penguins, cuddly safari animals and merchandise tie-ins.
