i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Even though some of the later season episodes weren't as funny and imaginative as the earlier ones, 'Phineas and Ferb' became a favourite when first introduced to it in 2009 or so. Eight years on, despite being finished, 'Phineas and Ferb' airs regularly on the Disney Channel and it's still a pleasure and one of their best shows in a long time.Although starting with an original concept, the stories in terms of structure are based around the same formula mainly. The ideas and situations however have enough variety to avoid it becoming too repetitive, while it looks good, has one of the catchiest theme tunes of any show in recent years, has wonderful, clever and funny writing, interesting and entertaining character relationships and characters that are easy to like. As likable as the two protagonists are and Candace is more than the stereotypical, tell-tale older sister that she seems, the scene stealers are adorable and funny Perry the Platypus (another example of mastery of actions and expressions registering hugely without uttering a word) and hilariously loony and incompetent Doofenschmirtz.It was inevitable that 'Phineas and Ferb' would get its own feature film, and it richly deserved it with characters and writing strong enough to warrant one. 'Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension' more than does the show justice and as far as films based on Disney Channel shows not released in theatres it's one of the best there is, proof too that 'Phineas and Ferb' had not lost its mojo at this point.Maybe the pacing is a little too fast on occasions, especially in the second half, and the finale is rather overblown and descends too much into silliness (something that the rest of the film avoided, so it was a shame). Flaws aside, 'Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension' is absolutely perfect for existing fans of the show and does a very good job in its attempt to attract a wider audience which shows that the film works on its own too. Children will love it and there is plenty for adults to enjoy, if anything adults or older fans will appreciate the story and humour more most likely.The animation is good and true to the animation style of the show but with a little more visual invention thanks to having a premise that allows for that to happen. It's simple but never simplistic, it's all vibrant in colour and the attention to detail is often marvellous. The music is catchy with some clever lyric writing, despite loving the infectious music in the show there was the fear that the music wouldn't be to my taste here, having heard polarising opinions on it, but coming from someone raised on classical music and opera it was right up my street.'Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension' is particularly good in the writing, characters and character relationships. The writing is remarkably intelligent, witty, inventive and clever with cracking puns and one-liners and references that will delight older audiences. All in the spirit of the show. The characters are both interesting and likable, it has been said that Phineas is out of character, and he is (showing a side to him that has never happened in the show), but one can understand why if anybody knows what its like for someone you love and trust is not who they seem while also understanding Perry's point of view.The characterisations of Perry and Doofenschmirtz are on point and stay true to their original personalities, and Candace's subplot actually to me was crucial in her development while not being as interesting as the rest of the story. The interactions are a joy all round, especially Phineas/Ferb, Phineas/Perry and Perry/Doofenschmirtz.Really liked the story. The fast paced energy of the show's story-lines are intact as are the inventiveness, the characterisations and relationships. Even better was how well 'Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension' did in opening things up with all the ingredients that made the show work so well intact while having the alternate dimension concept that gave the film a darker, bigger and edgier approach. This concept was intriguing and gave a suitable amount of tension and fun. The alternative universe versions of the characters are creepy and entertaining. It even has a touching moment with the reconciliation scene that warmed the heart too.Voice acting is typically terrific, particularly from Vincent Martella (Phineas), Ashley Tisdale (Candace) and Dan Povenmire (Doofenschmirtz).Overall, a real pleasure and complements 'Phineas and Ferb' perfectly. 9/10 Bethany Cox

I love Phineas and Ferb. I love it's surreal, inventive storytelling and all of the characters, in their warped little groundhog-day lives. And this movie is another great addition to the legacy. The show focuses heavily on the fact that TV shows have a formula. And Phineas and Ferb have a great formula. But what would happen if that formula was somehow disrupted and the daily routine altered? That is what the writers of this flick set their minds to when deciding they needed to incorporate a movie into the fear works of Disneys delightful cartoon. The brainchild that was born is this movie; a gimmick-filled, rip off of parallel universes that makes fun of all the gimmick-filled rip offs with pinprick accuracy and genuinely funny situations. Doofenshmirz shines like never before and Perry must face the inevitable when Ferb and Phineas find out who he really is. This is a great, fun movie worth taking the lazy summer afternoon to sit back and enjoy wholesome and creative entertainment with catchy songs, unforgettable one-liners and clever script-writing. I recommend this film.

Before you read this review and, or my opinion, it's very recommended that you must watch the first 20 episodes of Phineas and Ferb. If you have, then you'll understand what i'm saying. If you haven't, then you'll be confused. On all my reviews I like to be fair to all review readers. This review was made in 2013. Phineas and Ferb isn't the best cartoon, but it's good. And didn't deserve to have this bad movie. When this show came out in 2007, it was originally the best cartoon of this generation. Over the years the show gotten quite dull. Dull as in they do the same things in 97% of all their episodes. When Disney first spoiled that there was going to be a Phineas and Ferb Movie, I was like '' finally." and after that i said to myself'' This movie gonna be crappy.'' Disney was making a big fuss about this cartoon having a movie. Lots of random channels were showing commercials of this. In the end Disney hit rock bottom hard. It took three months for everyone to forget this movie. The plot of this movie is that Phineas and Ferb help Dr.D fix a machine that send them to another dimension where the tri-state area is ruled by an actual Evil Dr.D. Having no choice Perry the platypus had revile that he was a spy to save Phineas and Ferb. Phineas was Furious at Perry for not revealing that he was spy, and thats where Disney made their first mistake. Phineas is a happy go lucky kid. Never once has he been mad. Even with his annoying sister that always tries to bust him. His role in the movie totally broke his character. Phineas is a kid who never takes everything seriously. The story of the movie really breaks how the entire series goes. Lots of characters shouldn't have been added or shouldn't have had their own story lines. The main example is Candace. Why the hell did they give her plot line. Since this is a Phineas and Ferb movie. You can tell that their will be songs. These songs suck. I assure you that no little kid would want to listen to them twice. Other then the plot, charters, characteristics, and songs. The one thing that really got me were the graphics. The animation is smooth, but for every Disney film that is based on a cartoon. The graphics are normally jaw dropping. Not counting proud family. The only thing they did graphically was that they added shading. In the end, Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension didn't live up to the hype it created. No wonder this film reminds me of Pixar's Brave.This part you're reading is one my opinions of the movie, that doesn't have anything to do with the review, I just feel like sharing them to people who might care. The on thing that pi$$ed me off the most about the movie was a certain scene that I saw coming over a 1000 miles away. It was the scene where Isabella finally kissed Phineas. First off, I'm proud of Disney for not mentioning it, but because of how the movie was going to end, everyone saw this coming, and if your a true blue fan of Phineas and Ferb, I'm pretty sure you saw this coming before you knew how it was going to end. Second, couldn't Disney have done this during the falling resolution of the movie. It could have been done under :07 seconds, and in the end everyone will have their memories erased. I Hope Disney won't make stupid movie out Gravity Falls.

This 77-minute adventure is more like an animated action film with jokes and songs than like a longer episode of the television series.A typical episode to P&F entails a three-way collision of the child-like genius of Phineas and Ferb, of the childish genius of Heinz Dofenschmirtz, and of the just-plain childishness of Candace Flynn. Phineas and Ferb have great fun, Doofenschmirtz is hoisted on his own petard, Candace is thwarted, and the only one who has any clue as to what has really happened is, well, a platypus.But this time there's a different three-way collision, and the result is that Phineas and Ferb, oblivious to the sort of fellow that Doofenschmirtz is, help him to create a portal into a parallel universe. Not that big of a deal, perhaps, except that in that next universe, there is a Doofenschmirtz who is more genuinely evil, and with greater practical sense than the familiar Doof. This Doofenschmirtz has conquered his Tri-State Area, and imposed a totalitarian regime, with violent robotic enforcers. This alternate Tri-State Area has its comedic touches; but, for the most part, it isn't written for laughs.Ultimately, an alliance is formed that draws together Perry, children of two worlds, and finally even the familiar Heinz Doofenschmirtz, to stop a man who has crushed one land and seeks to crush another. In the course of things, various people and at least one aquatic mammal learn what they have really meant one to another.(And the viewer might also see what some of the characters have come to mean to the writers.)As an action film for kids, this is pretty well written, Whoever did the story-boards had a very solid understanding of the What, Where, and When of an action film. Even when one knows what is about to be delivered, the delivery is usually very satisfying. There are some coherence issues here and there, but nothing really dreadful; and they would have been hard to resolve without making this film far too strong for some of its intended audience.
