      Luis c G Holy cow! this movie is boring as hell Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/24 Full Review Alguien la verdad es un gusto culposo mio ya que me entretenia cualquier cosa de niño aunque lo malo es que gracias a esta peli fue cancelada jimmy neutron Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/09/23 Full Review Nick This movie is fun for the whole family—Nicolas Cage as the grumpy wizard. Paul Giamatti is the evil Pest Control guy. Yes, please. This movie is fun for the whole family. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/29/23 Full Review Loraine B The cast, story and the whole movie itself was underrated!! Loved it as a kid and still loves it as an adult Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/17/23 Full Review Charlo F To be honest this movie is maybe not bad, I know it had some flaws, but thanks to this movie I started to have some sympathy for ants (Maybe i have it with A bug's life and Antz, but this one did it good). And I deeply believe that someone before the movie was released hypnotized many people to avoid to watch it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/03/23 Full Review Dalton F Assisti muito esse filme, muito bom Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Namrata Joshi Outlook Hollywood animation can be boringly formulaic. And this one is all about some self-righteous moralising. Rated: 2/4 Jan 18, 2019 Full Review Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel Rated: 3/5 May 13, 2009 Full Review Brian Tallerico UGO Isn't clever or inventive enough to make up for its repetitive and lackluster storytelling. Mar 24, 2007 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) Unspectacular, but solidly entertaining animated adventure flick. Rated: 2.5/5 Dec 20, 2020 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com It is hard not to be troubled by a film that seems obsessed with teaching about community and friendship, but ends up preaching more about conformity and self-sacrifice. Rated: 2.5/4.0 Sep 2, 2020 Full Review Jane Boursaw Common Sense Media Cute animated movie with a message for kids. Rated: 4/5 Jan 1, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews
