Variety
Colorful, crowd-pleasing toon. - 50
ReelViews
This movie is the worst kind of offender: it thinks its funny and clever, but it is neither. The filmmakers have mistaken banality for wit and silliness for humor, and that doesn't begin to address how visually clunky this motion picture is. - 50
Chicago Tribune
Happily was begun as an old-fashioned 2-D "flat" cartoon and then switched by producer John Williams (of "Shrek") and director Paul J. Bolger to 3-D during production. The style finally is an uncomfortable amalgam of both. - 50
Los Angeles Times
Putting a spin on classic fairy tales is nothing new, and unfortunately that's just what the "Shrek"-lite animated feature Happily N'Ever After brings to the big screen. - 38
USA Today
Who would have thought an animated comedy satirizing the predictable nature of fairy tales could be so grim? - 30
Washington Post
Winds up answering the question of what "Shrek" hath wrought, and between its plastic-looking visuals and cynical attitude, the news isn't good. Lacking the genuine wit and humanism of that film and any number of forebears, this one deserves its dumpin'. - 30
Wall Street Journal
N'ever was an apostrophe so misplaced, n'ever was the prospect of good cheer so perversely defeated. - 25
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
As stiff and slogging as animated films come.
