Leave your thoughts about Horrid Henry: The Movie.
| Sky CinemaTim EvansThere's not much for mums and dads - this doesn't attempt any cute Pixar-style adult-pitched gags - but younger audiences will revel in the mischievous manipulations of a negative role model. |
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchA broad, noisy comedy based on a series of popular books and TV films about a rebellious primary-school boy in revolt against his family, school and all things genteel. |
| Birmingham Mail Graham YoungThe action is shot in fits and starts, with silly songs trying to camouflage the lack of a serviceable script. School of Rock, it's not. |
| Time OutDerek Adams'Horrid Henry' is indelibly flawed and disorderly in tone but not devoid of rambunctious charm. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerOver-indulgent children's comedy that's let down by a sloppy script, patchy direction and some poor performances, though it does have the occasional moment and its target audience will probably enjoy it. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)David GrittenShrill, over-eager and frankly disappointing. |
| Birmingham PostRoz LawsI hate to say it, but Hollywood did it better with Diary of a Wimpy Kid. |
| Liverpool EchoCatherine JonesOh dear, oh dear. Rarely has a film title been more fitting than this disappointing cinematic outing based on the mischievous character created by author Francesca Simon. |
| The SpectatorDeborah RossThis is a film that's woefully misjudged every which way you look. |
| Movie TalkJason BestFilmed in eye-popping cartoony colours and with eye-popping cartoony acting to match... the kids mug enthusiastically in school nativity play fashion amid fidgety, hyper-active camerawork that suggests the director has eaten too many blue Smarties. |
