It's fun, it's kind of somber and it succeeds in making you think about how you might be squandering middle age.

The movie's great fun, particularly for kids used to that satirically hard-edged kind of kid show.

It's fast-footed and fun. "Rugrats in Paris" had charms for grownups, however, Recess: School's Out seems aimed more directly at grade-schoolers.

A reasonably entertaining cartoon feature.

Creator producers Paul Germain and Joe Ansolabehere have come up with some unexceptional children and underdeveloped adults.
