"Huth offers an extremely faithful adaptation of Morris' imagery."
"...colorful f/x, flamboyant performances and outlandish sets"
Variety
"Action, humor and great entertainment for a family feature."
Version Femina
"A charming burst of color and energy, a spot-on recreation of the manic energy and physics-defying gags that made the books so popular in the first place. Gorgeously shot in the deserts of South America and loaded with sumptuous design work and large scale sets this must surely stand as one of the most ambitious and successful translations of a visually-driven world from page to screen ever made. Even better, thanks to the presence of Jean Dujardin in the lead role and veterans such as Sylvie Testud filling the support parts the acting and character work is bang-on as well. Some risque humor and occasional forays into darker violence give a surprising edge to a film that features a (very funny) talking horse, as do some subtle satiric underpinnings... This is just fun stuff beautifully made."

"Jean Dujardin stands out with astounding genuineness."
