 "For Powerpuff aficionados and virgins alike."
-- Jeanne Aufmuth, PALO ALTO WEEKLY
 "This little film is so slovenly done, so primitive in technique, that it can't really be called animation."
-- Joe Baltake, SACRAMENTO BEE
"All that (Powerpuff Girls) charm is present in the movie, but it's spread too thin."
-- Rob Blackwelder, SPLICEDWIRE
"From the action to the characters to the humor, it's one of the brightest entries in this summer's family-movie showdown."
-- Betsy Bozdech, REEL.COM
"It certainly turns out to be a worthy effort, even if (as with many spin-offs of boob tube fodder) it doesn't quite sustain its feature-film length."
-- Matt Brunson, CREATIVE LOAFING
"A rather brilliant little cult item: a pastiche of children’s entertainment, superhero comics, and Japanese animation."
-- Shay Casey, DAILY-REVIEWS
"The movie plays up the cartoon's more obvious strength of snazziness while neglecting its less conspicuous writing strength."
-- Jeffrey Chen, WINDOW TO THE MOVIES
"hip, outrageous, funny, punny, but also extremely violent"
-- Laura Clifford, REELING REVIEWS
"Like the series, the movie is funny, smart, visually inventive, and most of all, alive."
-- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE
"A confluence of kiddie entertainment, sophisticated wit and symbolic graphic design."
-- Annlee Ellingson, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE
"On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, The Powerpuff Girls is a fast, frenetic, funny, even punny 6 -- aimed specifically at a grade-school audience."
-- Susan Granger, WWW.SUSANGRANGER.COM
"It's like Rocky and Bullwinkle on Speed, but that's neither completely enlightening, nor does it catch the intensity of the movie's strangeness."
-- Ken Hanke, MOUNTAIN XPRESS (ASHEVILLE, NC)
"This film is not gonna change your life, but it's a fun, silly, over-the-top time at the movies, especially if you dig on adorable big-eyed baby chicks who kick ass."
-- JoBlo, JOBLO'S MOVIE EMPORIUM

"The pace and the visuals are so hyped up that a curious sense of menace informs everything."
-- Liz Braun, JAM! MOVIES
"It certainly won't win any awards in the plot department but it sets out with no pretensions and delivers big time."
-- David N. Butterworth, MOVIE BOEUF
"A really funny fifteen-minute short stretched beyond its limits to fill an almost feature-length film."
-- Walter Chaw, FILM FREAK CENTRAL
"All in all, the animation is what cracked my urge to despise this squeaky cartoon."
-- Michael Clawson, WEST VALLEY VIEW
"An entertaining romp that stays true to the material's television roots, this film is a good starting point for viewers unfamiliar with the series."
-- Angel Cohn, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE
"Watching The Powerpuff Girls Movie, my mind kept returning to one anecdote for comparison: the cartoon in Japan that gave people seizures."
-- Mark Dujsik, MARK REVIEWS MOVIES
"Tartakovsky's team has some freakish powers of visual charm, but the five writers slip into the modern rut of narrative banality."
-- David Elliott, SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE
"One of the more irritating cartoons you will see this, or any, year."
-- Bob Grimm, LAS VEGAS MERCURY
"Too much power, not enough puff."
-- Chris Hewitt, ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS
"Much monkeyfun for all."
-- MaryAnn Johanson, FLICK FILOSOPHER

"Grown-up quibbles are beside the point here. The little girls understand, and McCracken knows that's all that matters."
-- Ty Burr, BOSTON GLOBE
"The movie doesn't add anything fresh to the myth."
-- Nancy Churnin, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
"The X potion gives the quickly named Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup supernatural powers that include extraordinary strength and laser-beam eyes, which unfortunately don't enable them to discern flimsy screenplays."
-- Mike Clark, USA TODAY
"84 minutes of rolling musical back beat and supercharged cartoon warfare. It's also, clearly, great fun."
-- Tim Goodman, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"What's really so appealing about the characters is their resemblance to everyday children."
-- Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES
"For the first two-thirds of this sparklingly inventive and artful, always fast and furious tale, kids will go happily along for the ride."
-- Jane Horwitz, WASHINGTON POST
"At a time when half the so-called real movies are little more than live-action cartoons, it's refreshing to see a cartoon that knows what it is, and knows the form's history."
-- Liam Lacey, GLOBE AND MAIL
"The slam-bang superheroics are kinetic enough to engross even the most antsy youngsters."
-- Joe Leydon, VARIETY
"This movie is one of the few American creations that is both gleeful pop culture and exquisite high art."
-- Bob Longino, ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION
"The series' message about making the right choice in the face of tempting alternatives remains prominent, as do the girls' amusing personalities."
-- Roberta MacInnis, HOUSTON CHRONICLE

"That frenetic spectacle [on the TV show] has usually been leavened by a charm that's conspicuously missing from the Girls' big-screen blowout."
-- Kevin Lally, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL
