What the Critics say | ||
Cape Times Michael Rechtshaffen Best Seussian big screen effort to date. | 10 | |
Box Office Pete Hammond There is much for both kids and parents to love in this film: it's a sweet nostalgic trip for the older family members and is candy-coated just enough for the tykes. | 15 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli On the whole, however, fans of the book will more than likely be pleased with this extended interpretation. Children should enjoy the experience while the adults accompanying them won't wish they were elsewhere. | 15 | |
Rolling Stone Peter Travers This 3D, animated, idiotically musicalized version of The Lorax thoroughly debases the genius of the good doctor's book, adding characters, twisting plot points, and replacing Seuss subtlety with Hollywood frenzy. | 5 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs For the most part, enjoyable, if somewhat forgettable not long after I left the theater. | 12 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Dr. Seuss' The Lorax is cute and funny enough but the moral simplicity of the book gets lost with the zany Hollywood production values. | 11 | |
