Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Tommy didn't have to do what he almost did to Dill & still to this day that sad scene still haunts me and im so angry. No little kid should have to feel that way about a cartoon

Taking place immediately after the "Rugrats" episode "The Family Tree" where Didi finds out she's pregnant. "The Rugrats Movie" is when Tommy's new sibling is finally born. The Rugrats are very excited about Tommy's new sister, but when the baby is finally born, it's a boy. Baby Dil practically does nothing, but cry, scream, and poop. Tommy thinks he can take him back to the hospital in exchange for a new baby brother, but soon they all get lost in the woods. This is their first time in actual danger, not just their imaginations.This is certainly not the best story for a movie, but it is okay. Baby Dil, however is very annoying. More-so in the later episodes of the show than this movie, because he constantly interrupts their adventures and makes every episode about baby-sitting Dil.While "The Rugrats Movie" is a decent film, it has flaws.It's starts the downfall of a once great cartoon show.Like in "Pokémon: The First Movie" this film tries a little bit too hard to be darker and more dramatic than the TV show it's based on.There are WAY too many jokes about poop, pee and other such gross things. I'm fine with crude humor when it's in small doses (like on "Rocko's Modern Life"), or when it's actually made funny (like on "The Ren & Stimpy Show"). But this movie (and the later episodes of the show) just over-do it.There are good things too though.I loved the opening sequence of the film.The animation is great, and perfect for the big screen.The voice acting is top-notch.Some parts were really funny. Like when they spoofed "Indiana Jones".Overall this is a decent and mildly entertaining film. But it's certainly not one of the greatest animated movies ever. There are better movies of animated TV shows ("The Simpsons Movie"; "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie"; "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm"), but there are also worse ones ("Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Colon Film for Theaters"; "Pokémon: The First Movie"). Funny, nicely animated, good voice acting, but a little bit too much potty jokes, and it added a horrible character to a great TV show.Rating: 6/10 "Decent"

Rugrats, created by Europeon born cartoonists Arlene Klasky, Gabor Csupo and Paul Germain, was Nickelodeon's second Nicktoon (name brand as an original cartoon for that channel)and one of the most successful, debuting in 1991 and ending in 2004 spawning 172 episodes and spin-offs.Centerd around Tommy (the brave ringleader), Chuckie (the voice of caution without a mother), twins Phil and Lil (identical twins same in every way but will randomly clash) Angelica (Tommy's evil cousin), Susie (another toddler and a voice of reason to Angelica's tactics toward babies and adults alike),Timmy McNulty (Angelica's sexist rival and cousin), Harold (a slob toddler and friends with the others) Kimi, (a younger baby who -SPOILER- become Chuckie's stepsister later on) and Dil (Tomm'y little brother, who is so young cant even speak BABY).The film The Rugrats Movie debuted in holiday 1998 and was a surprise hit. It was about Tommy's little brother being born and he, Dil, Chukie,the twins, Angelica and the family dog Spike (Kimi and Harold was not introduced yet,Susie made a cameo and Timmy did not appear at all) getting lost in their fathers invention, the Reptar wagon (Reptar is their Godzilla) and become lost in the wilderness, avoiding countless numbers of near-death situations ( in contrast to the show's warm and secure feel as its usually set in a living room) while donging a group of runway circus monkeys and a sinister wolf. The parents learn quickly of their disappearance (which is rare) and begin a state wide search with the press on their tails, with a climactic chase sequence with the babies trying to find their way to the rangers station only to be halted by a wolf and Spike sacrificing himself to save them.In my opinion it was a great film, but at times felt overworked (countless numbers of guest stars,Dil's birth sequence and a strange twist by adding a much darker and serious tone) but i viewed it as a great thing, (that was probably the first time fans saw the babies dodging freeway cars and savage animals). For those unfamiliar to the show, it would be average to a mere annoyance, especially being introduced to Angelica.The sound quality is wonderful, a huge orchestra score by The London Metropolitan fitting the more serious tone compared to the simple xylophone in the show. The graphic aren't mind boggling but a great jump from the series and added CGI effects, while the sky for the whole film is just real life footage (but not bad).Personally id advise this film to fans and families, with many innuendos and dramatic action scenes and heart for the older audiences to enjoy.

"Rugrats", a Nickelodeon show which ran from 1991-2004, is said to currently be the second longest running cartoon series in television history, with only "The Simpsons" ahead of it. Personally, I can recall watching some episodes of the show when I was around ten years old (the show had been running for a few years by then), and never exactly got hooked, but I think I found it mildly amusing at the time. It has been a long time since then, but I recently watched "The Rugrats Movie". Knowing it was more for kids, I wasn't expecting to like it a lot, but thought I might still get SOMETHING out of it, which didn't happen.Tommy's life changes when he gets a new baby brother named Dil. After the birth of his new sibling, Tommy finds that he isn't getting very much attention anymore, has more responsibility, and Dil seems to be spoiling his fun. Stu has recently invented a small vehicle called the "Reptar Wagon." The Rugrats gang believe that Dil should be taken back to the hospital, so they manage to sneak out of the house and set out on a trip in the Reptar Wagon, taking Dil with them. However, while on the trip, the toddlers don't make it to their destination. Instead, they find themselves lost in the forest with Tommy's newborn brother, where danger awaits them! Since I didn't watch the TV show a lot during my childhood, I barely became familiar with the characters, and when I watched this movie, I couldn't remember any of their names. Consequently, around the beginning, I found the movie a tad hard to follow. (Anyone else who is not that familiar with the show but is planning to watch this movie, I feel I should warn you about that.) In addition to that, I found the story very boring, and a couple gags early on in film may have made me smile or snicker, but for the rest of it, I didn't find any of the gags the least bit amusing. I may have even found some of the excretion gags somewhat annoying. I'm not even sure if my 4/10 rating is enough to tell you how much I disliked this movie. However, I'm sure I would have thought differently of "The Rugrats Movie" many years ago.Now, obviously not EVERYONE whose childhood has passed them by would think the same of this movie as I did. I suppose you could find SOME fun in it. However, it's certainly not for just anyone who likes animated family movies. While it may not be strictly for kids, it definitely has more for them than it does for anybody else. Regardless of your age, it also might help if you're a big fan of the TV show, which means you're familiar with the main characters and their traits. However, it appears that even some fans of the show have been disappointed by this movie, so even being a fan doesn't guarantee that you would like it, though it's probably worth a try. I wouldn't expect this movie to be a family masterpiece, but I'm sure many kids would like it, and probably certain people in other age groups as well, even though it didn't do anything for me.
