Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Janice Page, Boston Globe: The movie's heart is in the right place, but all its messages of tolerance might resonate better if the Spanish-accented pirate didn't get drawn with a gold tooth and the turban-wearing Khalil wasn't an opportunistic rug merchant. Read more
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: It's got its heart in the right place, but it also wilts after awhile. Read more
Susan Stark, Detroit News: It's hard to argue with a children's movie that puts bouncy rhythm to the song lyric, 'Don't fight/Don't cheat/Wash your hands before you eat.' Read more
Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune: Theology aside, why put someone who ultimately doesn't learn at the center of a kids' story? Read more
Dave Kehr, New York Times: The animation is competent, and some of the gags are quite funny, but Jonah ... never shakes the oppressive, morally superior good-for-you quality that almost automatically accompanies didactic entertainment. Read more
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times: Children, Christian or otherwise, deserve to hear the full story of Jonah's despair -- in all its agonizing, Catch-22 glory -- even if they spend years trying to comprehend it. Read more
Dave Larsen, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: A garden-fresh morality tale for the kids, with Monty Python-inspired humor. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: This animated retelling of the familiar Old Testament story is playful, high-spirited and unmistakably amusing. Read more
Bruce Fretts, Entertainment Weekly: Bouncy animation and catchy songs keep the film from tasting too much like spinach. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Occasionally, in the course of reviewing art-house obscurities and slam-bam action flicks, a jaded critic smacks into something truly new. Read more
Nancy Churnin, Dallas Morning News: One thing you have to give them credit for: The message of the movie is consistent with the messages espoused in the company's previous video work. Read more
Paul Malcolm, L.A. Weekly: Your taste for Jonah - A Veggie Tales Movie may well depend on your threshold for pop manifestations of the Holy Spirit. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: You and your kids could do worse. You and your kids probably have done worse. Read more
Megan Turner, New York Post: Spears of Afro-topped asparagus singing gospel and French-accented peas working as maitre d's at a seafood restaurant -- what's not to love? Read more
C.W. Nevius, San Francisco Chronicle: If a big musical number like 'Praise the Lord, He's the God of Second Chances' doesn't put you off, this will be an enjoyable choice for younger kids. Read more
