Tampa Bay Times
A nice but unnecessary movie for small children who can find the same level of entertainment on kiddie cable networks. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
The film wants to put on screen the sense of random play and concentrated games that fill a child's world for a few summers. In this it succeeds, but the film does not welcome others who might still retain memories of those NOT bummer summers. - 50
Orlando Sentinel
A mild-mannered kids' comedy that makes for a pleasant-enough time killer. - 42
Entertainment Weekly
The lesson is that fun can't be planned, but the film is so airless (think iCarly as a videogame) that there isn't a truly playful moment in it. - 40
Variety
Picture comes off as an exaggerated slapstick romp rather than the breezy, affecting tale of an 8-year-old tomboy it might have been. - 40
Boxoffice Magazine
This ho-hum offshoot of Megan McDonald's book series earns negative "thrill points" as it chronicles the mirthless backyard shenanigans of a suburban Pippi Longstocking. - 40
Time Out
The books' ingenious wunderkind is MIA here, replaced instead by a generic eye-rolling, motormouthed preteen bopping around rote set pieces. - 40
Arizona Republic
The story is a grab bag of only-in-the-movies kid problems and ridiculous adult behavior.
