| iAfrica.com Rebekah Kendal An inoffensive, big-budget family comedy, complete with the obligatory poop jokes, visual gags, mildly diverting puns and feel-good messages. | 10 |  |

| The Citizen Peter Feldman The premise is stupid, the laughs are silly and the morality lesson is annoying. | 10 | |
| Sunday Times Barry Ronge This quirky comedy is one of the most misunderstood movies of the year. | 10 | |
| 24.com Eddie Maluleke The movie has some good moments and delivers all-round family entertainment with a pleasant message. | 10 | |
| 24.com Tiisetso Tlelima In this so-called family comedy, Carell attempts without much success to make the audience laugh at strange faces and silly little dances. | 1 | |

| Box Office Chad Greene Just say Noah: God stages a not-so-divine intervention. | 5 | |
| eye Weekly Adam Nayman Plodding, predictable and sitcom-broad, it's a numbing populist cocktail of slapstick, sentimentality and special effects that, in failing to acknowledge the true tenor of these A.D. (After Dubya) times, feels distressingly au courant. | 1 | |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli Not funny enough, clever enough, or spectacular enough. | 10 | |
| Rolling Stone Peter Travers It's too lame to be mighty, except in budget that is. | 5 | |
| ScreenItNot enough laughs or even chuckles, and too much reliance on special effects and clearly not enough on the plot. | 6 | |
