| Common Sense MediaRenee SchonfeldClassic Peanuts film is as charming and relevant as ever. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThe popular comic strip was made into a nice, Oscar-nominated big-screen entertainment. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseThe appeal of Schultz's pop philosophy hasn't faded in forty years: this kind of sincerity can't be faked. |
| Movie ChambersPaul Chambers"A Boy Named Charlie Brown" is a fun learning experience. It was for me and millions of other kids in the early 1970's. It has a great message and an uncompromising way of making its point at the end. Kids need this movie. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonIt's the humor that carries the day -- that, and the nostalgic twinges at seeing the beloved comic characters going through the usual routines familiar from the long-running strip. |

| User ReviewCampbell PCharlie Brown doesn't know what he's getting into when he halfway raises his hand for a class spelling bee. Lucy humiliates Charlie by showing him slides of his failures and with her use of a football. Linus can't function without his security blanket after he lends it to Charlie. Meanwhile Snoopy fantasizes about being a figure skater, hockey player and a W.W I fighter ace, lol. |
