Best live-action talking animal movie since Babe.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 28, 2010

Part earnest, old-fashioned melodrama, part wisecracking broad comedy, Racing Stripes is a film divided against itself.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 1, 2006

A breezy caper that will entertain children without testing their parents' patience.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 8, 2005

A predictable but pleasant kids movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 24, 2005

Adults will find Stripes tolerable at best, and the youngsters will probably show little more enthusiasm.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Jan 16, 2005

Almost everyone in this has done better, and those who haven't, like young Ms. Panettiere, have plenty of time to do so.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 14, 2005

There's much to laud in Racing Stripes.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 14, 2005

Bland but likable kids' movie.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 14, 2005

Offers enjoyable moments.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 14, 2005

The special effects here are surprisingly smooth, and everyone seems to be having fun.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 14, 2005

A hackneyed mix of sentimentality and anarchic comedy.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 14, 2005

Even by the dubious standards of talking animal movies, this one is routine.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 14, 2005

Racing Stripes is hardly a Triple Crown winner. But for a Saturday afternoon with the kids, it's a safe bet.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 14, 2005

This is the kind of movie you might grab at the video store, but it's not worth the trip to the theater.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 14, 2005

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.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 14, 2005

A veritable barnyard full of guest celebrity voices, doing their best to liven up a mediocre Babe wannabe.

Full Review | Jan 14, 2005

The humor may overdo the doo-doo, but there are sweet and funny moments as Stripes tries to follow his dream and learns the importance of friends.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Jan 14, 2005

Should delight youngsters, although parents likely will find it is sentimental in the extreme, with a plot that telegraphs every development.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 13, 2005

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.
