Entertainment Weekly
There's nothing particularly inventive in the plot or grade-school humor, but the movie skates by on the timeless, undemanding charm of watching a tie-wearing bear try to steal people's lunches. - 60
Village Voice
Adults will be thrilled to see Anna Faris as nature documentarian Rachel. Greeting Yogi by speaking in "brown bear," the actress never fails to be seriously goofy. - 55
Movieline
On the whole the film is not much fun to watch. A job is a job, though; Yogi Bear did little to make it more than that. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
Yogi is still smarter than the average bear, but Yogi Bear is much less smart than most of the year's kid-friendly cartoons. - 50
Variety
A bland and innocuous small-fry outing that retains a measure of the original Hanna-Barbera cartoon's charm, though scarcely enough to justify the time, expense and visual-effects trickery it must have taken to inflate an endearing 2D cartoon into a dopey 3D extravaganza. - 25
Tampa Bay Times
A smarter-than-average bear becomes a dumber-than-usual kiddie flick with Yogi Bear, the lone Christmas release specifically aimed at children, so it automatically qualifies as their lump of coal. - 25
Orlando Sentinel
The best you can say about this Yogi Bear is that he's harmless. No animal was harmed in the making of this picture except the one Hanna-Barbera made a bundle on almost 50 years ago. - 25
Chicago Tribune
Yogi Bear gives cheap hackwork a bad name. Which is a shame, because hackwork made this industry.
