    Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
    rita_ritzuki I'm a fan of the original rugrats, when All Grown Up came I was very excited, I think it's a nice show, but it isn't exactly what I was expecting from a rugrats spin-off.The only bad side of this show is that the show killed the rugrats, Tommy isn't the leader anymore , at the beginning he was supposed to be an artist and later he was just randomly obsessed with girls, Susie just thinks on singing and college, Angelica became just a generic boring teenager, Chuckie from being a nice and caring baby became a self-centered person who is always complaining of how bad is life for him, Kimi gotta be the worst of all of them, she doesn't have a personality not even a trait to set her apart from the other rugrats, she's portrayed as a selfish, spoiled girl who seems to think that the world revolves around her, by far the most horrible character in the entire series, At the end we have Dil that unlike his countpart on rugrats, he has evoluted to become the best character in this show, portrayed as the weird, nice,smart ,caring kid who is always willing to help and trying new things other people wouldn't do,always ready for the action, and that challenging attitude of not caring what other people think of him.I think it's a good show, but I wish it would have to deal less with teenage issues and more kid related issues, if this wasn't a rugrats spin-off it'd be a very good show, but with rugrats in its past, people expect more from it.
    I_Am_The_Resurrection ALL GROWN UP is basically a spin off and not much else of the original Nickalodeon RUGRATS cartoon that featured the babies Tommy Pickles, Chucky Finster, Lil and Phil DeVille, Angelica, Susie and (later) Kimi (Chuckies sister) and Dill (Tommy's brother). I grew up with RUGRATS and thought it was a great cartoon. It had excellent humor, nice stories and the show's creators, Klasky & Csupo, were obviously very original and creative with the concept of the adventures of babies. The new show ALL GROWN UP tries to recapture the magic of the original cartoon. I was disappointed when I saw it. I found the "all-grown-up" Chuckie just annoying and the whole "pre-teen-acting-mature/trying-to-be-popular" that applied to (unfortunately) *all* of the characters dull and washed out. There still are some funny scenes and jokes in the new series and it was interesting how the artists would make the whole baby gang of RUGRATS look ten years from their age in the original show. Overall, this show is 'fair' and only watchable if a) you're a die-hard fan of the RUGRATS, b) have never seen the original show, c) you're a pre-teen that has nothing to do, or d) your so bored that your somehow forced to see this show. This show is not that good. It doesn't compare to the older RUGRATS episodes in quality, humor, and everything else.
    Hancock_the_Superb As good as "The Rugrats" were in their heyday (1991-4), it's almost painful for me to contemplate how terrible they've become since the first movie in '98. I absolutely reviled the original "All Growed Up" special, for it sucked. Though the idea of seeing the 'Rats as teenagers for one episode might be kinda neat (to seem people), I think that making them tweeners for a whole series (and one that seems to have at least some base of popularity, since it has yet to be cancelled) is REALLY stretching it. It's bad enough that this show took a lame idea and stretched it out beyond all reason, but that could be overcome, if this show was written with some degree of wit and originality. But it isn't. This is the usual Klasky-Csupo, unfunny, lowest-common-six-year-old-denominator garbage, at best a fifth-rate rip off of "As Told By Ginger" (which I dislike but isn't completely terrible, contrary to my review of that show). The plotlines have been recycled from the cliche bin of virtually every kid's television show ever made. There are plotlines about a career aptitude test (everyone from "The Simpsons" to "Hey Arnold!" have done that one) to Kimmi hanging out with a "bad boy" (name one kid's show that doesn't involve a similar plotline) to Susie being ripped off by a supposed talent agent (the most recent show to do that was "Everybody Loves Raymond", but I seem to recall it occurring in a number of other shows as well). So obviously, this show wreaks of originality.The characterization is even worse, with the usual cliche teenage characters, mixed in with some truly out there characterizations. Angelica is really the only survivor; she's as bossy and egotistical as she's ever been, but at age 12/13 she somehow seems less entertaining than when she was 3 years old. Susie's pretty close to what she once was, too, but she was never more than a marginal character, so that's kinda irrelevant. Tommy is now a dumba** would-be avant-garde filmmaker (remember his "brilliant" movies about sneezing and dirty laundry?), without much other characterization. Chuckie's very geeky (though he's somewhat more rebellious), as to be expected, but thanks to the "ingenious" casting of Nancy Cartwright to replace Christine Cavanaugh, Chuckie sounds more than ever like Bart Simpson with a head cold. Kimmi isn't exactly a particularly enlightening character either. Dil is a weirdo who believes in UFOs or some garbage like that, and Phil and Lil are pretty much typical popular kids. And the parents now are virtually non-existent caricatures of their former selves.So: is "All Grown Up" a p***-poor spin-off of an increasingly turgid franchise, or simply an average teen show with familiar characters? Actually, it's both. I've watched three eps of this show, and they've made me not want to watch any more. And the theme music is absolutely gut-wrenching as well.No stars. I'd rather watch post-Dil, even post-Kimmi "Rugrats" (shudder) than this filth.
    Angel Meiru What does "The Rugrats", "Beavis and Butthead", "All in the Family" and some of the "Cartoon-Cartoon" shows on Cartoon Network have in common? Well, they started out as good shows, but later went downhill and eventually, came out with lame @$$ spin-offs. You think most people would learn from all of this, but there are some that don't.AGU is basically a typical Teeny-Bopping show for the "Brittney Spears", "Cristina Agulera", "Jessica Simpson" and the "Boy Band" generation, only difference is that they have Rugrat characters in there as stereotypical pre-teens. This is just a travesty to a once good cartoon.Don't be fooled fans of Rugrats! This is basically a teeny bopper show disguised as Rugrats francise.
