" Arctic Tale conveys the [environmental] message to kids in an endearing story wrapped around some of the most compelling footage ever captured at the top of the world."

" [Director Csupo] succeeds in keeping his main characters well-rooted in their daily lives, and his restraint in creating Terabithia is commendable. With no gratuitous rainbows, elves or unicorns, it somehow is believable."

" It's unlikely that anyone from that real family would see himself in the remake starring Rene Russo and Dennis Quaid. It's a story told in extremes, as if there weren't enough comedy potential in 18 kids under one roof."

" They are evil and they must be stopped. They being studio production executives who gleefully greenlight a sequel to an OK kid-targeted adventure movie just because they are blinded by flashing dollar signs."

" Sounds like the kind of movie that might appeal to, I dunno, maybe all seven openly gay Mormons and not many others."

" It's true that last summer's hit Pirates of the Caribbean is one tough act to follow, but The Haunted Mansion falls short even without such comparisons."

" Director Mark Waters and first-time screenwriter Heather Hach have given a fresh sensibility to an oft-told fable of walking in another's shoes."

" The greatest strength of The Wild Thornberrys Movie is its ability to relate basic truths -- poachers are bad, respecting wildlife and native peoples is good -- in a way that is fun, fast-paced and accessible without being patronizing."

" Schoolyard bullying is a touchy issue these days, having been pinpointed as the root of many larger crises such as school shootings. Too bad Keeblesed the opportunity to teach kids something about it."
