Jason Anderson Toronto Star Its lack of a compelling storyline and overreliance on so-so slapstick will limit its appeal to easily distracted preschoolers. Rated: 2/4 Jun 26, 2009 Full Review Bill Gibron PopMatters If being innocuous were a crime, Gooby would cause Canada to reinstate the death penalty pronto. Rated: 1/5 Jun 13, 2010 Full Review David Cornelius DVDTalk.com This should be, by all accounts, a horror movie. It is instead a Canadian family comedy. So, you know, same difference. Rated: 1/5 Aug 3, 2009 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Entertaining for kids while slightly corny and silly for adults, but it's often harmless, bighearted and filled with inspirational messages about friendship, hope and the importance of family which everyone, young and old, can appreciate. Rated: 6.0/10 Apr 21, 2009 Full Review Loey Lockerby Kansas City Star Instead of inspiring children to be brave and loving, it will most likely send them cowering under the covers in terror. They've already got Chucky movies for that. Rated: 1/4 Apr 17, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/24 Full Review Angelina Gooby was a fantastic, heartwarming, must-see family movie that will bring a big smile on your face. Gooby was a spectacular film, and all the performances were just fabulous. Watching this movie was a great time, and I always rewatch it when I have the time. Gooby will always be my favorite film, with a unique story and lovable characters. Gooby helped solve me and my wife's marriage, and helped bring us together. I now spend more time with my family, and every Friday night we have a movie night, just to rewatch the magic of Gooby. My kids loved Gooby so much, they're rooms are just stuffed with Gooby stuff. Gooby blankets, Gooby stuffed animals, Gooby curtains, Gooby flooring, Gooby walls, Gooby lights, Gooby light switches, Gooby rugs, Gooby sweaters, Gooby shoes, Gooby jewerly, Gooby glasses, Gooby tables, Gooby TVS, Gooby phones, Gooby phone-cases, Gooby cheese blocks, Gooby snacks, Gooby chairs, Gooby laptops, Gooby iPads, Gooby iPad-cases, Gooby home and lockscreen, Gooby paper, Gooby pants, Gooby shirts, Gooby books, Gooby globe, Gooby maps, Gooby TikTok, Gooby Instagram, Gooby Snapchat, Gooby YouTube, Gooby Spotify, Gooby Halloween costumes, Gooby fish, Gooby dolls, Gooby albums, Gooby posters, Gooby record player, Gooby songs, Gooby gloves, Gooby concerts, Gooby spoons and forks, Gooby plates, etc. My kids loved Gooby so much, they wish to be him when they're older. They now start throwing hot-dogs at little kids, and each other, and I do the same now. My favorite thing to do is throw hot-dogs inside my kids ears, and other people's kids ears. Gooby, you are a massive inspiration to many people. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/10/23 Full Review Benjamin S "Gooby" is an absolute gem of a family movie. From start to finish, it weaves a heartwarming and magical tale that's perfect for all ages. The story of a young boy, his talking teddy bear Gooby, and their adventures together is filled with laughter, tears, and valuable life lessons. The performances are outstanding, and the special effects bring Gooby to life in a way that's truly enchanting. This film is a delightful blend of comedy, drama, and fantasy, making it a must-see for families looking for a feel-good movie night. "Gooby" is a timeless classic that reminds us of the power of imagination and the importance of friendship. It's a movie that will leave you with a smile on your face and a warm feeling in your heart. Don't miss out on this magical journey! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/22/23 Full Review Viviana M Oo la la!!
