Summary

Armed with the latest high-tech spy equipment, highly trained guinea pigs discover that the fate of the world is in their paws.

(Walt Disney Pictures)

Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

A pleasant, inoffensive 3-D animated farce about a team of superspy gophers.

New York Post Kyle Smith

Thanks to an unexpected twist and a clever motivation lurking in the back story of the super-villain, G-Force has enough going on to more or less maintain grown-up interest, and there's plenty to please the kiddies.

LA Weekly Aaron Hillis

Amping up the "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" formula with a whole A-team of adorable, talking furballs who converse in one-liners and pop culture references (Apocalypse Now and Scarface, really?), the mega-producer’s stamp is on every fight sequence, explosion and ugly stereotype.

TV Guide Perry Seibert

Your ability to enjoy G-Force will correlate directly with how funny you find the idea of guinea pigs as action heroes.

Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum

The first 3-D film produced by Jerry Bruckheimer turns out to be similar to 2-D projects from the same noise-making producer--heavy on action scenes and heavy, too, on message.

USA Today Claudia Puig

G-Force is unlikely to keep anyone older than 10 on the edge of his seat, and the bathroom humor may annoy adults. But the message of unity, while unoriginal, is consistently sweet.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Stephen Cole

It's an action-comedy. It's in 3-D. There's a video-game tie-in. Throw in a fluorescent Slushie from the candy counter and your eight-year-old will be in heaven.

The New York Times A.O. Scott

Manages to be fairly entertaining in that exhausting, rackety, late-summer-kiddie-movie way.

Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea

Just about the only folks likely to find this humdrum hybrid of "Mission: Impossible" and "The Wind in the Willows" worthy for consideration are non-discriminating pip-squeaks.

The Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen

There's seldom a dull moment -- but nor are there any that allow viewers young or old to invest in its elite team of furry characters to any satisfying or lasting degree despite the presence of an energetic voice cast.

Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips

Toward the end, G-Force starts making no sense at all, neither tonally or narratively. It may not matter to the target audience, though the look on my son's face when it was over was pure Buster Keaton. He says he liked it well enough. Me, a little less.

Variety Lael Lowenstein

A fur-covered "A-Team" for the kiddies, G-Force is heavy on splashy pyrotechnics and predictably light on plot.

ReelViews James Berardinelli

It's not so much a bad movie as it is a pointless one.

The Onion (A.V. Club) Tasha Robinson

Pointing out G-Force’s plot holes would be redundant; it’s more hole than plot, and more videogame commercial and exhausted-old-trope clearinghouse than film.

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman

What it is, really, is a trainer film, meant to prep the world's youngest ticketholders for the day when they're old enough to help turn Bruckheimer's bigger movies into blockbusters.

The general consensus on this one: Rats.

Washington Post Dan Kois

An aggressively stupid entry in the family-adventure genre from Jerry Bruckheimer.

San Francisco Chronicle Amy Biancolli

A lot of resources went into making G-Force - a lot of talent, a lot of money, a lot of marketing - and there's not much to show for it, not even some halfway imaginative 3-D gimmickry.

Austin Chronicle Kimberley Jones

Vacant and pointless.

What Our Users Said

The average user rating for this movie is 4.0 (out of 10) based on 38 User Votes

Note: User votes are NOT included in the Metascore calculation.

da da gave it a4:
Though visually it was good, the story and the humor was plain boring.

Jacob G.v gave it a2:
OK, so maybe the kids like it. Youngsters don't need a whole lot to entertain them. But anyone with close to mature social skills will find the human acting poorly done, the script entirely unoriginal to the point that your hair might curl on the should-be motivating moments, and you'll guess what happens before it happens, every time. The only reason this got a 2, and not a 1, is because it is funny in some places. It's not really really funny, but it makes you chuckle. If you want something mindless, this is a movie to watch. If you want to be genuinely pulled in at all, avoid this movie like the plague.

Kasandra J. gave it a7:
Cute and funny. I have no idea why so many people didn't like it.

Capo gave it a1:
Not funny at all. Cheap humor, nice attempt to make us laugh.

Bill B gave it an8:
Had a great time with the wife, and the 3D was really good. It will never be compared to Citizen Kane, but you know what you are getting.

Carley I. gave it a4:
The graphics were quite good, if your into the whole cute animal talking thing its definitely for you!

Tyler S. gave it a3:
I thought this would be a great movie but wow i was wrong it was not funny at all and u could see the end of the movie from the begging.
