We get nauseating homilies on the values of friendship, family, and parenting and a soundtrack full to bursting with vacuous pop acts.

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
Just as good as the last outing, this is great kiddie fare with some filmic references for the adults.
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.
Chuckie's odyssey is sentimental stuff. Heck, it might even choke you up. But, in the end, it's all about the marketing.
[A] hodgepodge which veers from segment to segment with remarkably little logical connection, even for a kidflick.
Watching Rugrats In Paris ... I am forced to ask myself exactly what range of kids this kiddie movie is actually being pitched at.
Looks like what it really is -- a 77-minute long episode of the TV series projected onto a theater screen.
They deserve better than to wind up as collateral damage in Nickelodeon's excursion onto the Mouse King's turf.
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.
Seems more like a merchandising ploy than a successful attempt to entertain kids and their parents.
For grown-ups, the jokes are often flat tires, largely thanks to their context.
