Very good animated comedy. And true to the TV series, out of the mouths of babes comes potty talk and there is always the heavy helping of potty humor. The Pickle clan along with Chuckie Finster and his widowed father find themselves at a Japanese theme-park in Paris where the greedy proprietor Coco LaBouche(Susan Sarandon) tries to force Mr. Finster into marriage. Chuckie interrupts the wedding at the appropriate time by uttering his first word(understood by adults)...NO! But that doesn't mean romance is dead. All is well that ends well. The Rugrats' appeal seems to still be snowballing. This flick has what it takes to please everyone in between the younger diaper set to the older diaper set! Forget about your troubles for just a little while and find the humor in the messes these toddlers and crawlers get into.

Christine Cavanaugh is the voice of Chuckie. Cheryl Chase gives voice to the group's brat Angelica. Sarandon is not exactly in her element with the French accent. Some other voices you may or may not recognize are that of: John Lithgow, Melanie Chartoff, Casey Kasem and Debbie Reynolds.

I thought it was a fine movie, suitable for children and adults. If you're like Coco LaBouche, however, you probably won't like it. Too bad for you, then.

Although my kids are rather older than Angelica and her dumb ol' babies, I find I relate to the adult characters, and, as a recently widowed father, particularly to Chaz. The plot of the movie provided stimulation for some meaningful conversations with my 9-year old son that might not have occurred otherwise.

My son loved the film, and pronounced it, on a scale of 1-10, a 20. I loved the movie parodies, as well as the humor that went over my son's head (he was unfamiliar with the phrase "to lose one's lunch" and so missed a rather gross joke ...).

All in all, it seems that, on the heels of their unexpected success with the first feature-length film, someone in the creative team said, "And how much more can we gross if we give this one a *plot*, too?". The result worked MUCH better than the first film.

Can't wait to own a copy.

This film follows on from the TV show well. It has all your favourite characters but on a bigger scale with Angelica's selfishness causing a true catastrophe this time. Not to mention the main villainess who is a very believable and pitiable figure. It all culminates in a silly but engaging final battle that more than makes up for any flaws of the film.

I loved the first couple of seasons of the TV show and I love Paris! So I thought this would be great fun -- afterall I could imagine the kids getting lost in the Louvre, or dangling over the edge of the Eifel Tower, or falling off a bridge and onto one of the tour boats on the river, etc. But, this film takes place in a pseudo-Tokyo theme park named EuroReptarLand (can you say EuroDisney?) There's jokes about sushi, not escargot, sumo wrestlers as waiters and floor show entertainers, and some ripoffs of the "Lady And The Tramp" film, etc. All in all, a huge disappointment.

I sort of enjoyed the Rugrats movie, but this is better. It is sweeter and funnier, and is consequently very enjoyable. While there are some really sweet moments like Chuckie getting upset(that bit nearly made me cry) and some truly funny parts too, namely the priceless wedding scene at the end and the part when Betty sarcastically says while they are in Notre Dame "If you've seen one church, you've seen them all, wake me if you see a hunchback". The animation is bright and colourful, and the gorgeous Paris setting is used to very good effect. There is also a nice soundtrack and great voice work from Christine Cavanaugh, Tara Strong, Elizabeth Daily and Cheryl Chase. Susan Sarandon was also wonderful as Coco. While well written and funny, plus the Reptar was cool, this film is not a masterpiece, it is too short, and some of the secondary characters needed more development. I loved the references to the Godfather, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Godzilla and King Kong, they were hilarious, and I think adults will find some enjoyment too with the well scripted lines and the frequent references to various film favourites. In conclusion, funny, sweet, colourful and enjoyable. 8/10 Bethany Cox

I don't even need to see it to believe it! The whole Rugrats empire has gone too far. A second movie IS NOT necessary at ALL. Here goes... little scaredy cat Chuckie Finster goes to a wedding and gets depressed that he doesn't have a mom (deceased). A brother of the father Chaz calls up and says there's a malfunction at Euroreptarland (a licensed Japanese Godzilla-type "Reptar" theme park in Paris) and make's a mistake, saying that Chaz can bring family and friends (I don't know why they could have settled it all with a nice, long mini-series). That was the cunning way to a plot of garbage. Chaz had an idea that he could find love in gay [not today's meaning :-P] Pareee. All the babies and company go to Paris and get into a typical Scooby Doo situation (Stupid meddling kids...). Two new characters come into view, a new Rugrat, Kimi, and the step-mother of Chuckie, which has yet to be determined. They make a big deal about a minor character instead of a new Rugrat. But hey, I'm only a 12-year-old who loathes many popular cartoons (Pokédie!)) A Rugrats movie is the way to introduce a new character to the show (miniseries...). They have also stereotyped the French enough to call it discrimination. Streetside cafés, monuments (like the dog doing his busines on the Eiffel Tower, ala Big Daddy), the language (like saying Oui, Oui meaning an amber bodily waste), their fashions and appearances, food, etc. etc. What the $%#@ did Nickelodeon do to them? Infiniti thumbs Way, Way DOWN!

Being that the first film in this series was somewhat of a disappointment, I had no expectations of this being above or beyond its predecessor-much to my surprise and pleasure, I was rather thrilled at the results.

The animation is stunning, even inspired. The illustrations are full, with just enough whimsy to let you know that this is still what it is. The story is a bit of a tear-jerker, especially if you have seen the series and are familiar with the characters. Anyone who doesn't feel something during this film never had a childhood.

Each segment comes alive with its own beat, pulsating joyful across the screen. There is enough in here for adults to WANT to see it again, and enough that the kids won't complain. The references to pop culture are extensive, not limiting themselves to the last five years, or just one genre, but running the gamut from art to politics and back again, from the present day to the distant past. This a film to treasure-not quite all time great material, but very, very good.

There are of course, scenes which don't work, or could have been cut out, but then it wouldn't have been itself-And what's the point of that?

I saw this movie and it really is not great! The music is great, but the plot sucks! Save your money, and just buy the only thing thats good about the movie: THE SOUNDTRACK! P.S. Keep in mind I am A Rugrats fan!

I have watched the movie Rugrats in Paris and I think that it is really a great movie for kids to watch and enjoy. The movie was very realistic just like the other Rugrats movie The Rugrats Movie. Although it wasn't very good because of some parts. On a scale of 1 to 10 I think I will give it a 7 or 8.

Rugrats in Paris: The Movie is another worthy sequel to a great movie. The babies are funnier this time around and the in joke refrences are hilarous. The Godfather parody will ahve you rolling in the aisles. This is a movie for the young and the young at heart.

THIS MOVIE IS SO BAD, UGLY, GROSS! I WANT AN IMMEDIATE REMBOURSER!

This movie is even better than the 1st Rugrats movie. It was a really fun movie to go see. It had jokes and gags for both the kids and the parents (that's me). I went with my wife and my daughter and all of us really enjoyed the movie and thought it was better than the 1st movie. It was great seeing Chuckie trying to be brave like Tommy. And Angela was her usual naughty self. Phil and Lil were their usual gross selves, too. Even Dill was there, along with all of the grownups. You definitely have to go and see this movie, whether you are a kid, or just a kid at heart.

While I will go as far as to say this sequel to the smash (though not to smashing to me) 1998 film Rugrats is better than the first, I'm not giving this film everything. There are as many (if not more) poop and pee jokes here than the original and while I'm a fan of that humor (Jeff Daniel's landmark scene in Dumb and Dumber is a good example), this goes too far. Still, despite various liabilities, it was fun, with the big pull up being the parody of The Godfather with the Mobfather as Angelica. Celebrity voices include Susan Sarandon, John Lithgow, Cindi Lauper, and Isaac Hayes. B+

I hated this film. I was forced to go watch it with some friends that hate me now because they heard me sware. Doesn't this crap ever get old Nickolodeon. Nickolodeon really needs to bring back Ren & Stimpy real bad. Nicktoons is dieing off now and thats a good thing because nicktoons disirves to die for banning Ren & Stimpy. That was down right cold man. So avoid this movie with all you got. I'm not saying this movie is bad because they banned Ren & Stimpy. NO that's only half of it. There cartoons are just plain old crap now. Even back then I actually didn't mind the rugrats. I would rather watch the grass grow for the next 4 years than have to watch this again.

I went with my 3 daughters and whole family.(husband and inlaws) We all loved it. The music scores was just right, and I thought it was VERY good. Two new characters are introduced. The locales were true to life. The detail was amazing. And after the movie... I had to remind myself that it was made for the kiddies. It's not something that an adult will groan as 'the obligatory movie' for their child that they have to suffer thru as their chaperone. Knowing the characters before-hand is a plus... then you would know/understand what's going on with the characters, because everyone is there at some point. For a kid's cartoon... it was very good. two thumbs up and in perspective, it's for the kids.

I sat through this movie with my wife, my two-year-old daughter (on my lap) and my boys (5 and 7 years old). We've been watching Rugrats on TV for some time, and are quite familiar with the characters.

Honestly, this was one of the better movies I've seen this season, bar none. There are ample parodies of other movies (to make the adults laugh-outright), as well as lots of fun for the little ones. The battle between Robo-Reptar and Robo-Snail kept my boys talking excitedly all the way home.

If you are not a fan of the Rugrats, this movie will do little to change that. However, this movie is considerably better than either the first Rugrats movie or any of the individual TV episodes. For once, a movie spawned from a TV series is actually better than the series.

After a successful, entertaining Rugrats film I was expecting this one to be an interesting sequel. Think about it, most TV shows that are adapted to films are basically and more often than not just longer episodes. Some films like The Simpsons Movie, when thought about, could just be half and hour episodes. With the first Rugrats film it would have been next to impossible to chop it down to a half hour episode. With this one though, the babies (or rugrats) I was excited because I thought now their really changing it up. Way different, unexpected setting, a fine plot, this should be memorable and way more entertaining than the first. I was off.

The plot is recycled and just modified to fit the characters. Stu Pickles gets a late night call from Paris to go to EuroReptarland, a theme park, to fix the broken Reptar mechanical robot. He brings Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, Angelica, the baby Dil, and all of their parents to have fun in Paris while Stu works. Soon and ironically, Coco LaBouche is looking to run EuroReptarland and must find someone with a "heart of a child". When Angellica overhears her talking about this, she comes up and tells her about Chuckie's lonely father, Chaz in exchange for her own princess float at EuroReptarland. So Coco is determined to win over Chaz.

Not a bad plot, but it's not really unique in anyway. Is that the best they could do? Its better than if they recycled the babies getting lost like they did in the first. But still, that plot might have worked in a big city like Paris. I must also note Grandpa Pickles doesn't make an appearance at all in this movie, unless I missed him. I didn't recall him appearing once in this entire movie. I was disappointed because he was one of my favorite characters.

In sequel terms, it's fine, but the first like 80% of the time, is better. The idea of the babies in Paris could've spawned numbers of ideas. The babies visiting the Eiffiel Tower, running ramped through the town, anything. But the idea they went with just didn't grab me in really at all. There were parts that the film felt original, fresh, and funny. But the comparison it has on the original film is small. Could Rugrats Go Wild be any better than this? Don't count on it.

Starring: Elizabeth Daily, Tara Strong, Cheryl Chase, Christine Cavanaugh, Dionne Quan, and Kath Soucie. Directed by: Stig Bergqvist and Paul Demeyer.

Rugrats In Paris is a really cute movie. The tv show has been aired from around 1990 till now, and is a very fun children's show. The movie also shows more emotions from the characters than in the original, such as the mother-less Chuckie. This movie is really funny and entertaining. I give Rugrats In Paris a 10 out of 10. :)
