Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine: I have to give props to a movie that ascends from eccentricity to insanity without losing its footing. Read more
David Germain, Associated Press: The animation is grand, and the lovely images may be enough to send really young kids away happy. Their parents might leave feeling they've been taken in by some carny sleight-of-hand, though. Read more
Kathleen Murphy, MSN Movies: ...off-kilter wit and smarts to an animated bestiary that keeps you laughing while eloquently re-defining where home is. Read more
Andy Webster, New York Times: Kids will be stimulated. And, parents, you'll enjoy the sights. Read more
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal: "Madagascar 3" is all about exuberant motion, cute characters and gorgeous colors. It aims for the eyes, not the heart. Read more
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: It's silly, and it's lazy. And yet, again, it's pretty funny. Read more
Tom Russo, Boston Globe: Cascading, colorful 3-D performance sequences are sufficiently dazzling that you'll forgive the bajillionth soundtrack sampling of "Firework." Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: A riot of splashy colors, silly 3-D gimmicks, big, broad kid-friendly gags - and those professionally pesky penguins. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: From time to time the improbable occurs: A sequel outdoes its original. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: The story in Madagascar 3 is functional, but the antically civilized spirit is infectious. Read more
Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter: Yes, it's a cartoon, but it's conspicuously unmodulated, with the volume set on high and the pacing all but pushed to fast-forward. Read more
Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times: A neon-saturated, high-flying trapeze act with enough frenetic funny business that it's a wonder the folks behind this zillion-dollar franchise about zoo critters on the lam didn't send the animals to the circus sooner. Read more
Rafer Guzman, Newsday: If you typically check the ingredients on the stuff you feed your kids, here is what you'll find in "Madagascar 3": jokes, Katy Perry music and less than 2 percent of character development and emotional warmth. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: A fun and fast family entertainment. Read more
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News: Despite a script co-written by Noah Baumbach, "Madagascar 3" can't upgrade its own shtick, becoming a craven example of a fast-buck, no-fun family film. Read more
Lou Lumenick, New York Post: What might be barely tolerable in a seven-minute short gave me the biggest headache since "Transformers: Dark of the Moon.'' Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: It has value only as a way to engage a very young viewer until his or her attention span expires. Read more
Amy Biancolli, San Francisco Chronicle: The screenplay, by Eric Darnell and Noah Baumbach, churns out the snappy witticisms with admirable creative gusto, but it whizzes along at such a frenetic pace that you'll probably miss half of them. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Your brain goes breathless and giddy struggling to keep up. Read more
Jennie Punter, Globe and Mail: The clever lines and themes of friendship and finding home are almost completely overwhelmed here by the breathless pace and sensory overload... Read more
Alonso Duralde, TheWrap: Marks the spot where a shrill and unfunny kid franchise made the leap into hilarious and engaging family entertainment. Read more
Guy Lodge, Time Out: This is that rare thing: a franchise that grows more winning with each instalment. Read more
Sam Adams, Time Out: Madagscar 3 is less interested in plucking the last bit of meat off the series's bones than with simply picking the lowest-hanging fruit. Read more
Linda Barnard, Toronto Star: The movie zooms along at a clip so quick, it sometimes overwhelms. Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: Set at a frenzied pace meant to connote fun, it mostly feels like a frenetic spectacle. Read more
Justin Chang, Variety: This is the rare animated property that has consistently improved on its ho-hum origins. Read more
Eric Hynes, Village Voice: Like a big-screen Big Gulp, this third installment of the billion-dollar animated franchise contains as much cinematic confection as an 85-minute movie can bear. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: [It] may be the best of the bunch, simply because it busts the leash that tethers it to anything resembling reality. Read more
