Rugrats in Paris: The Movie (2000)

Really Surprised!

Good start, but then it gets ruined

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It was a good movie, and a massive improvement from the first one. I really liked this movie when I was a kid, and watched it several times. The film centres around "Chuckie" who happens to be one of my favourite characters of the Rugrats, so I'm not at all surprised why I enjoyed this movie so much. I like the setting of the film, and that too being set in Paris adds that bit of charm. The story was good. The villain was scary, and with Chuckie renowned for being scared and all...well...yeah... the movie flows well if you ask me. Despite the movie being a good one, the episodes that have followed the film have been a let-down or bad.

In Nickelodeon's second theatrical film based on one of their "groundbreaking" Nicktoons, Stu is summoned to Reptarland (via a cheesy scene where he talks to a woman on the phone very late at night)to fix his attraction and he brings along Chaz, who's thinking about remarrying. (Like the show, everyone else comes for the ride also). The best scenes in this movie are the Godfather parody, Casey Kasem's few lines at the wedding, the King Kong/Godzilla/Super Mario 64 parody, the famous scene where Chuckie SPOILER ALERT: crashes the wedding, the Chuckie Chan song, Ooey Gooey Land and Chaz's MySpace page. This film is the best of the trilogy. After seeing this, the first one just looks like an experiment and Rugrats Go Wild, the third and final movie, just looks like a bad film. If you like Rugrats, and you're given a choice about which one you want to watch, pick this one. Oh, and if you want to see this, pick it up very quickly; it hasen't been on TV for years. However, after the movie, the show started to go downhill. (I think that I'm the only person who realized that the tittle is abbreviated to R.I.P. Maybe it was intended to be the series finale...) My Rating: 8/10 Rated G (Cocoa MIGHT have said "ass" at one point of the film.)

"Rugrats in Paris" is a great movie. I think it was even better than the first Rugrat movie. It had many good moments in it and I thought it was very cute and touching.I saw this movie in theaters opening weekend when I was 13. I went with my sister and my friends and the theater was very crowded.(I think it was sold out). I remember I was very excited when the movie started.The best part of the movie was the wedding of Grandpa Lou and Lulu. The way they spoofed the Godfather was hilarious. I was laughing hysterical about Angelica being the "Godmother" and Phil and Lil finding the "horse's head" in their crib. That part was great! The end of the movie when they are having the cake fight at Chaz and Kira's wedding is also very funny. The plane ride to Paris was also hysterical and sad! The music and the songs in the movie was also really good, my personal favorite was the Reptar song. I have the soundtrack! Overall I give this movie 10/10 stars.

"The Rugrats Movie" was diverting enough, but "Rugrats in Paris: The Movie" is dangerously close to being a sequel too far - the animation is again more expensive than that of its source, and the movie's fine when it sticks to Chucky's desire for a mother, or when the avaricious, angular, child-hating Coco La Bouche (the head of EuroReptarLand, the woman who says "Nei-zer" for "Neither," and arguably the real star of the movie) is on screen.But when it focuses on the shrill, grating antics of the other kids (Angelica sums it all up: "What is it with you babies and poop?")... or when it pads out its fairly slim storyline with too many pop songs... or when the movie really has no good reason to bring the whole bunch to Paris other than Stu and his family (with a total of ten writers credited, including five punch-up writers, you'd think they could have come up with something better)... simply put, any given episode of "The Fairly OddParents" beats this movie hands down. And is this really the best place for a "Godfather" parody?The aforementioned Coco (give it up for Susan Sarandon!), Chucky's kung fu dream sequence and the get-me-to-the-church-on-time climax keep this movie from being a total waste, but it's to be hoped that "Rugrats Go Wild" (Tommy Pickles and Co. meet Eliza Thornberry and the rest... what next, SpongeBob SquarePants visits Jimmy Neutron?) is the last in the series.
