Scooby-Doo knows when to take itself seriously and when to laugh at itself -- even if its audience isn't laughing along at every gag.

The acting is stiff, the story lacks all trace of wit, the sets look like they were borrowed from Gilligan's Island -- and the CGI Scooby might well be the worst special-effects creation of the year.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

As this movie knows what it is, Scooby-Doo's a relatively painless 85 minutes.
J. Hoberman, Village Voice

Much funnier than it has any right to be, and filled with just enough inside jokes to please longtime fans of the cartoon franchise.
Joe Leydon, Variety
Rotten
The movie drags, and the occasional bursts of mirth and self-referential humor can't save it from bogging down.
