  • I'm An Adult and Not A Kid

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 29, 2001
    Pros: Good enough for kids - and bottom line that is all that matters.
    Cons: I didn't like the storyline or plot. Wished it more geared towards education

    Summary: I’m not a kid. The main problem with most children’s movies is that somewhere normally hidden deep down inside is a joke, phrase, or visual action that is meant to appeal to adults. Sometimes these jokes are so apparent to us adults ... read more

  • A moderately enjoyable Recess

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 25, 2001
    Pros: Kids will be entertained and nothing here could be classified as offensive.
    Cons: Parents may yearn for a little more adult-friendly wit.

    Summary: In the growing trend of children's TV series-turned-animated features, Recess: School's Out fits somewhere in the middle. This pleasant and mildly diverting effort is not as witty or well conceived as Rugrats in Paris, but also not as overly frantic as ... read more

    Mar 29, 2001
    Pros: Clean decent movie, sentimentality, adventure, fun for whole family
    Cons: Released early in the Spring of 2001... would be a perfect May release movie

    Summary: As soon as we heard that Recess would be out in the movies, we made a mad dash and camped out in front of the theatre in our small, lazy town until the movie finally showed up! (Okay, umm…kidding. We waited until two months after everyone in the world ... read more

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 12, 2001
    Pros: good story line
    Cons: weak animation

    Summary: I think the animation was bad. Trying to combine 2D and 3D doesn't work, well at least for this movie. I thought they should have stuck with the animation used in the television show. That is some good animation. The story line, on the other hand was ... read more

    Rated Show by the Epinions community
    Aug 10, 2004
    Pros: Fans will like, good time filler, nice animation
    Cons: Very predictable, a bit thin and weak plot

    Summary: This movie is pretty good for fans of the series. Don't expect anything great from the very predictable plot, but it's still a good way to spend some time in the afternoon. Fans won't be disppointed but actually, I kind of was. I don't think the plot is
