I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Nice (London Olympics style) intro, passable opening theme version but then horrors of horrors.....those voices...terrible. Sounds as if all the main characters have been ingesting helium. Did the Producers really buy into the franchise at all or were they just out to make a quick buck with celebrity voices and a poor tie in to a talent show. Anyone brought up on the original t.v. series will shake their heads at this very poor film. Ever watched Shaun the Sheep? that's the way to do a feature film- true to the original with MINIMUM changes. I hope this never crosses my path again and warn anyone thinking of watching this film to expect very little of the original- for that is what you will get.

I've seen the trailer and had a feeling that the movie may not be good. But after seeing it I think it was good, probably a good adaptation of a children's TV show. There are some good jokes such as breaking the fourth wall, how talent shows rely on 'talent' etc. I also like the CG animation, don't expect the animation to be like Dreamworks or Pixar, they're multimillion dollar companies. Pat was in good characterisation, you think it'll be the clichéd 'fame gone to my head lost my friends' act but no it's not. Pat is still modest, polite and caring, he only entered the singing competition so he can win tickets for his wife to Italy. The voice actors had put much effort into the characters as well, especially David Tenneat of Doctor Who fame. They've delivered great acting towards the character. As of the robots in the movie, yeah I have to admit some of it looks really creepy, pretty much Patbot 3000's smile and Jess as well. But the whole scuffle with the robots and the villain, it's very cartoony. Silly but cartoony and I love cartoony fun. The songs are good choices too to represent the movie too, though I think they should've find a voice for Pat that sounds a bit like Steve Mangan, who provided well for Pat I have to say, rather then Ronan Keating who had done some good singing in the film. I think it's a good movie and it's focused on a mature issue such as technology and TV, well some critics think that alienates the young audience, there has been many children shows that do focus on mature issues, in the right way. Overall it's a good movie. It has some silly cartoony moments, some good jokes, good acting etc. I personally recommend this movie.

I saw this movie with my 4 year old, his first real movie experience, and a disappointing one. At home he loves the postman pat short movies so he was excited to go and see this one. Now he is an always happy kind of guy and sat through the movie. But the excitement was quickly gone I noticed.Simply too much references to adult-world kind of things like ... got talent, work problems, etc etc that are outside his world. It simply lasted too long.At the end he was more interested in the different flavors popcorn then the movie. Too bad, missed opportunity

Just been to see this with my 2 year old. Didn't have any real expectations, I was just hoping my little girl would enjoy the film. However I was very much surprised. Firstly the negative stuff: The animation wasn't very good. The CGI looked a little cheap. Also It would have been good if they could have used the same voices for the main characters. Saying that these things things spoil the film. The makers of the film have really thought of the adults who will be seeing this film with their little ones. Simon Cowbell is a good example. A miserable headhunter, hosting a talent show. He even wore clothes very much similar to a certain person with a similar name. The plot wasn't anything new, but as it's for very little children that can be forgiven. My two year old was laughing and clapping to the film.However their are a few scenes that might scare some children. Above all a great young children's film that parents will enjoy watching too.
