A guaranteed crowd-pleaser for the whole family. - 75
New York Daily News
Strikes a nice balance between smart and sweet. - 70
Washington Post
Very funny in a way reminiscent of "Babe: Pig in the City." - 63
Philadelphia Inquirer
The obstacles are many, most notably Rookery, a local vampire hunter who looks like a rejected extra from "Mad Max." - 63
Miami Herald
The movie is a little long for kids. - 50
Chicago Reader
The violence is suggested in a way that's neither overwhelming nor insulting to a child's intelligence as this crafty fairy tale ultimately finds a way for human and vampire characters to live and let live. - 50
San Francisco Chronicle
The results are predictable and only mildly entertaining. - 38
Chicago Tribune
An odd little ghoul too cleaned up to survive, a bloodless vampire movie that's mostly lifeless as well.
