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

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

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

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

Pros: This was a great movie for children and adults.
Cons: I think they should have released the movie in the summer not in the winter.
Summary: I liked this movie. My niece, nephew, and their parents liked this movie. We all sang along with the song "John, Jacob, Jingle, Heimer, Schmidt". Everyone loved the one kid that reminded us of Bart Simpson.
This movie reminds you ... read more

Pros: It appeals to the pint-sized audience for whom it's intended.
Cons: Flat TV-cartoon type animation
Summary: At "Preview 2001 and Beyond" in Manhattan, Disney made it clear to those in the motion picture business that they wanted to "own" President's Day weekend - and this G-rated animated feature is this year's attempt.
Based on the popular ... 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
