Highly Overrated But Still Good
n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
View MoreIt is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
View MoreThe tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
View MoreI learned about these series quite recently.I was a Rugrats fan from a younger age and when I discovered there was a spin-off of the characters,I was really excited to watch it.Firstly,I watched the TV movie/episode of Rugrats "All Growed Up".It was a nice episode.Angelica was chasing the babies for taking her karaoke machine and finally they got in a closet,trying to hold the door from opening by Angelica.Then (I don't understand how exactly) the babies decided to go to the future and they did it by putting some kind of headphones to a ball.(?)Everyone is still the same thing only a bit different to their way of treating (one good example is that Chuckie is not afraid that much anymore).Then after a few incidents (and a nice and emotional video slide show of their baby years and adventures),they get back to the present knowing how they will look at the future and how will Angelica treat them then.(Oh,yes,Angelica WILL treat them a bit well!)This episode was really interesting and maybe one of my favorites,though I've read and heard that many Rugrats fans didn't like it,because it destroyed their imagination of how the babies will be in the future,the same they believe for the series Rugrats:All Grown Up!,that it destroyed the original one.Then I watched some episodes from the series and I was quite satisfied by them.They were nice,funny and at the end (as in the Rugrats) there was always a life lesson,through the preteens' life and adventures.I find it very enjoyable and it's certainly is a good show for children and preteens and -who knows?-teens and adults will love it too!9 stars out of 10 is the best I can put,it wasn't the most excellent ever,but it is surely a nice and hard-worked series!
View MoreI like this show. It may seem dorky at first, but it actually makes a life for the so called RUGRATS.The show makes me happy, and makes me enjoy my teen life more! But my only flaw is that they are starting to use the dorky and annoying Rugrats music (1997-2001) that annoyed me after all these years. Otherwise the show makes me comfortable.I recommend that everyone watch this show. Teens Mostly!The show though gets annoying after a while with Angelica, who I hate!The show alternates from one teen having a problem, to another being weird.Hey, it's a typical Klasky/Csuopo cartoon with the animation and feel of most of their show which are excellent.The show is GREAT.Rugrats: 9.5/10 All Grown Up: 9.8/10
View MoreThis is a show about teenager-wannabees that are 10 years old. The first few episodes of this were all right and they were doing well with Nickelodeon and I enjoyed them, but the new ones have easily-solved plots and spastic drama from (guess who) Angelica and Susie. My little sister watches this and I can see her sometimes getting ticked off because of the stupid lines of the characters. I'm trying to make this show bad and I'm also trying to make a persuasive argument. I could relate this to Fairly Oddparents, which also has easy-to-solve plots and sappy lines. Nickelodeon is going down the tubes and if 3-year-olds are watching it daily, don't be surprised if they start blurting out phrases like, "Whatever!" and, "So yesterday, galfriend!" I admit that I'm exaggerating this show, but with the previous sappy shows of Nickelodeon backing me up, my point is pretty clear.
View MoreAs good as "The Rugrats" were in their heyday (1991-4), it's almost painful for me to contemplate how terrible they've become since the first movie in '98. I absolutely reviled the original "All Growed Up" special, for it sucked. Though the idea of seeing the 'Rats as teenagers for one episode might be kinda neat (to seem people), I think that making them tweeners for a whole series (and one that seems to have at least some base of popularity, since it has yet to be cancelled) is REALLY stretching it. It's bad enough that this show took a lame idea and stretched it out beyond all reason, but that could be overcome, if this show was written with some degree of wit and originality. But it isn't. This is the usual Klasky-Csupo, unfunny, lowest-common-six-year-old-denominator garbage, at best a fifth-rate rip off of "As Told By Ginger" (which I dislike but isn't completely terrible, contrary to my review of that show). The plotlines have been recycled from the cliche bin of virtually every kid's television show ever made. There are plotlines about a career aptitude test (everyone from "The Simpsons" to "Hey Arnold!" have done that one) to Kimmi hanging out with a "bad boy" (name one kid's show that doesn't involve a similar plotline) to Susie being ripped off by a supposed talent agent (the most recent show to do that was "Everybody Loves Raymond", but I seem to recall it occurring in a number of other shows as well). So obviously, this show wreaks of originality.The characterization is even worse, with the usual cliche teenage characters, mixed in with some truly out there characterizations. Angelica is really the only survivor; she's as bossy and egotistical as she's ever been, but at age 12/13 she somehow seems less entertaining than when she was 3 years old. Susie's pretty close to what she once was, too, but she was never more than a marginal character, so that's kinda irrelevant. Tommy is now a dumba** would-be avant-garde filmmaker (remember his "brilliant" movies about sneezing and dirty laundry?), without much other characterization. Chuckie's very geeky (though he's somewhat more rebellious), as to be expected, but thanks to the "ingenious" casting of Nancy Cartwright to replace Christine Cavanaugh, Chuckie sounds more than ever like Bart Simpson with a head cold. Kimmi isn't exactly a particularly enlightening character either. Dil is a weirdo who believes in UFOs or some garbage like that, and Phil and Lil are pretty much typical popular kids. And the parents now are virtually non-existent caricatures of their former selves.So: is "All Grown Up" a p***-poor spin-off of an increasingly turgid franchise, or simply an average teen show with familiar characters? Actually, it's both. I've watched three eps of this show, and they've made me not want to watch any more. And the theme music is absolutely gut-wrenching as well.No stars. I'd rather watch post-Dil, even post-Kimmi "Rugrats" (shudder) than this filth.
