All Critics (70) | Top Critics (22) | Fresh (43) | Rotten (27) | DVD (2)
The kids will like this animated romp about summer vacation, and so will the adults sitting next to them.
Its well characterised comedy of playground manners and teasing social awareness rings confidently through.
Whimsical, engaging.
Refreshingly subversive.
About as exciting as a lunchbox full of carrot sticks.
Passably speedy on the level of other TV retreads that seem miscast on the big screen.
Audience Reviews for Recess: School's Out
An extended episode with a rediculous plot that will have the kids laughing and the adults sleeping.
Super Reviewer
While it is formulaic when stacked up to its television show counterpart, School's Out provides an ambitious plot line noted with a strong antagonist performance by James Woods
