The movie’s humor targets both kids and grown-ups with equal success, but, even with the presence of a mustache-fixated monkey, the main attraction here is the movie’s vibrant 3-D animation and its perfect storm of foodie-friendly sight gags. -Los Angeles Times

Ends with a big action sequence, turning into Raiders of the Lost Arby’s when you wish it would serve up something less conventional. But by that time, the filmmakers have also served up a little food for thought, along with a lot of laughs -NPR

The Mixed and less favorable reviews in the media.

If the filmmakers opt to make only light statements about junk food, obesity and solid waste, they at least leave the audience sated on a single serving of inspired lunacy. -The New York Times

Leaves us with is sporadic showers of laughs for kids under 10. That’s a shame, because the film could have been a delight for everyone, if only it hadn’t learned to behave. -The Globe and Mail
