Racing Stripes movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: Even by the dubious standards of talking animal movies, this one is routine. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: Bland but likable kids' movie. Read more
Allison Benedikt, Chicago Tribune: The message comes across loud and clear without being preachy or treacly, the voice work is top-notch and the zebras (they used eight to play the teenage Stripes) beautiful. Read more
Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle: Offers enjoyable moments. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: It's no classic, but its heart's in the right place. Read more
Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic: It's all familiar and unsurprising, but not without its modest pleasures. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Simultaneously overplotted and simplistic, the new barnyard/racecourse comedy from Warner Brothers is predictable every step of the way, and it contains at least three too many poop jokes. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: Should delight youngsters, although parents likely will find it is sentimental in the extreme, with a plot that telegraphs every development. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: Racing Stripes is hardly a Triple Crown winner. But for a Saturday afternoon with the kids, it's a safe bet. Read more
Scott Brown, Entertainment Weekly: For the jaded adult, there's something casually terrifying about Racing Stripes. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: A hackneyed mix of sentimentality and anarchic comedy. Read more
Nancy Churnin, Dallas Morning News: Setting up a race in which you root for the misfit is the 'oldest trick in the book,' to quote a phrase Tucker the horse likes to use in Racing Stripes. But as Tucker adds: 'Works every time.' That it does. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: The undeniable ambiance of Mr. Ed that hangs over the movie is made up for by the charming whimsy of some of the other voices. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: Makes a good case for taking children's entertainment out of the hands of directors and producers in arrested development. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: The humor never rises very far above the barnyard. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: The special effects here are surprisingly smooth, and everyone seems to be having fun. Read more
Dana Stevens, New York Times: Racing Stripes is unlikely to ascend to the pantheon of perennially watchable children's films, but like its hero, what it lacks in skill, it makes up for in heart. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: It stumbles right out of the gate. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Babe is a family film. Racing Stripes is a children's film. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: This is the kind of movie you might grab at the video store, but it's not worth the trip to the theater. Read more
Susan Walker, Toronto Star: There's much to laud in Racing Stripes. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: Almost everyone in this has done better, and those who haven't, like young Ms. Panettiere, have plenty of time to do so. Read more
Joe Leydon, Variety: Frisky and funny enough to please pre-teens, but still witty enough to amuse even those parents who don't recognize Dustin Hoffman, Whoopi Goldberg and other notables among the unseen vocal talents. Read more
Chris Tamarri, Village Voice: The film shares a problem with its hero: identity crisis. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: Although this film about a zebra who aspires to win horse races has a marvelous premise, it slows to a mediocre canter right out of the starting gate. Read more
