David Rooney, HollywoodReporter.com: “[T]he fact is that an estrogen-infused makeover, particularly one with such a comedically gifted cast, was a promising idea. Sadly, that’s where the inventiveness ended.” Check out the full review here.

Peter Debruge, Variety.com: “The problem isn’t that Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson created characters too iconic to surpass; the fault lies in the fact that this new ‘Ghostbusters’ doesn’t want us to forget them, crafting its new team in the earlier team’s shadow.” Check out the full review here.

Terri Schwartz, IGN.com: “In terms of Feig’s brand of comedy, Ghostbusters is more Spy than Bridesmaids, but his humor never quite jibes appropriately with the tone of the film. It doesn’t help that the pacing undercuts what could have otherwise been strong moments.”Check out the full review here.

Manohla Dargis, NYTimes.com: “Sliding into theaters on a river of slime and an endless supply of good vibes, the new, cheerfully silly ‘Ghostbusters’ is that rarest of big-studio offerings — a movie that is a lot of enjoyable, disposable fun.” Check out the full review here.

Chris Nashawaty, EW.com: “But with a cast as daring and quick as this one, Ghostbusters is too mild and plays it too safe. Somewhere, I bet, there’s an R-rated director’s cut of the movie where these women really let it rip. I want to see that movie. ” Check out the full review here.

Nell Minow, BeliefNet.com: “Individual moments are very funny, even joyous, but the storyline wavers in tone, with references to killing owners, a supposed hero whose motivation has to be a crush rather than friendship or honor, a sad offscreen death that is unearned, unnecessary, and distracting and a disability that is played for humor.” Check out the full review here.

A.O. Scott, NYTimes.com: “[W]hile this movie never achieves — and does not really aim for — the emotional richness or visual inventiveness of the better Pixar features, or the sly social consciousness of “Zootopia,” it has a playful absurdity and a winning, friendly spirit.” Check out the full review here.

Peter Travers, RollingStone.com: “[The directors] know how to use this Toy Story with critters to get loads of laughs and put a lump in your throat.” Check out the full review here.

Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com: “[I]t’s too aggressively likable to hate—especially given its strong character design and excellent voice work—but simultaneously too shallow and forgettable to really register.” Check out the full review here.

Brian Truitt, USAToday.com: “[E]ven the jokes about dog poop and rabbit droppings are surprisingly smart.” Check out the full review here.

Stephanie Zacharek, Time.com: “[T]oo much of The Secret Life of Pets, directed by Yarrow Cheney and Chris Renaud, is sacrificed to cheap, antic chases and allegedly suspense-laden gimmicks of the truck-hanging-off-a-bridge variety.” Check out the full review here.

Peter Debruge, Variety.com: “The formula may be familiar, but the personalities are completely fresh, yielding a menagerie of loveable — if downright ugly — cartoon critters banding together to help these two incompatible roommates from ending up on the streets.” Check out the full review here.

Pete Hammond, Deadline.com: “[T]he film’s first half or so is just a complete delight, and anyone who a) loves pets, b) loves comedy and c) loves a great toon will be rewarded with a movie from the creators of Despicable Me and Minions that delivers exactly what it promises.” Check out the full review here.
