Review Samplings:

This Reviewer loved it!
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
"It's always a pleasure to find a family film that respects its audience all the way up the line."

This Reviewer liked it!
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
"Perhaps the most engaging thing about "Puss in Boots" is that it never takes itself too seriously."

This Reviewer disliked it!
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Remember that toy where you yank a string and hear the sound of a barnyard animal? "Puss in Boots" has about half as much entertainment value."

When reading reviews remember: "Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how its done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves." --Brendan Behan (successful Irish dramatist)

"Having the critics praise you is like having the hangman say you've got a pretty neck." --Eli Wallach (award winning screen actor)
