Tampa Bay Times
While the result isn't the greatest show on Earth, it certainly is a lot of fun. - 83
Entertainment Weekly
The story in Madagascar 3 is functional, but the antically civilized spirit is infectious. - 80
Boxoffice Magazine
Europe's Most Wanted is so full of laughs and great characters, it's easily the best in the series. Like "Toy Story 3," the Madagascar gang just gets better with time, and this new adventure is funny, exciting and heartwarming. - 80
Time
Boldly and gaily sustained the madcap momentum for the whole of its eighty-few minutes. - 75
Slant Magazine
In spite of its lazy, cookie-cutter screenplay, simple narrative mechanics are only dutifully observed to the extent that they step aside to make way for numerous flights of madness. - 70
Variety
Good-humored and endearing, full of energy and color (sometimes neon) if not quite Pixar-level invention. - 50
The 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. - 50
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.
