BRIEF REVIEW
|
GRADE |
|
Boston Globe, Ty Burr
|
"A fresh, and mostly refreshing, approach in Hollywood's pillaging of the good doctor's oeuvre."
|
B-
|
|
Chicago Sun-Times, Laura Emerick
|
"If you're willing to ignore the Hollywood gloss and enjoy the cinematic experience, you'll find a 'Horton' that's faithful, if not 100 percent, to the spirit of the beloved children's classic."

|
Chicago Tribune, Michael Phillips
|
"Graced with some rich voice talent led by a sweetly restrained Jim Carrey, the film is far less grating than the big-budget versions of 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' and 'The Cat in the Hat.' "
|
B-
|
|
E! Online, Glenn Gaslin
|
"It works. As a kid flick, as a legitimate comedy, as a worthy extrapolation from the original book."
