San Francisco Chronicle
Clearly, great fun. - 80
Village Voice
The rapid-fire satirical sophistication (scatology notwithstanding) and lovingly rendered pulp surrealism of this sequence should delight adults, while kids will get a charge out of the heroines' grown-up-defying chutzpah. - 78
Austin Chronicle
Brilliant, wacky, and utterly charming fluff, with millions of mad monkey minions to boot. - 70
The New York Times
What's really so appealing about the characters is their resemblance to everyday children. They're wildly energetic, competitive and (sometimes dangerously) impulsive. But they also learn from their mistakes, and their instincts are good. More power to them. - 67
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Don't give the kids any sugar before this one -- it's so hyperactive it'll send them into overdrive without it. - 63
Boston Globe
Forgoes that split-level wit to concentrate on mere rock 'em sock 'em mayhem. - 60
Variety
Small children who will accept it as rock-'em, sock-'em excitement with a touch of gender-specific empowerment, and hipper teens and grown-ups who can appreciate the whole thing as a semisatirical hoot. - 50
Baltimore Sun
There's a wonderfully funny and relentlessly cute 45-minute cartoon within The Powerpuff Girls Movie; unfortunately, it's padded out with almost as much filler.
