| Box Office Pete Hammond It's not just perfect entertainment for the whole family, it's about the importance of family. | 10 | |
| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert Accessible to all but the youngest children, and I suspect their parents will enjoy it, too. | 18 |  |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs While it's refreshing to see a live-action movie about a kid that doesn't feature the usual cinematic array of scatological humor, zany behavior and such, the film feels like it was harvested before it was fully ripe and ready to be picked for our pleasure. | 10 | |
