Roughly half of Tim Allen's latest comedy is hilarious-stupid, and the rest is monotonous-stupid.
Kevin McManus, Washington Post
Rotten
Simple truths are often the most effective, but in this instance they are only banal and mildly amusing.
Leonard Klady, Variety
Rotten
Typically for Disney, the villains aren't made of very stern stuff, nor indeed is fey spear-carrying Mimi-Siku.
Trevor Johnston, Time Out
Rotten
Mildly caustic, sentimental and slow.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
