The tunes aren't particularly catchy, the outfits aren't that over the top, and the fart jokes, well, stink. Go to Full Review

Horrible Histories never escapes the sense of feeling more like a feature-length TV special than a movie. Go to Full Review

As light and silly as Horrible Histories can be, there's a subversive quality to it, too. Go to Full Review

It never quite hits the -- albeit grand -- heights of its smaller screen offering. Go to Full Review

3/5
The film’s sense of humour is hardly subtle – there’s a mountain of potty humour and nods to contemporary devices like iPhones – but I’d be lying if I said it didn’t tickle my funny bone at times. Go to Full Review

…there’s so few British films made, and fewer good comedies, that Horrible Histories: The Movie is a breath of fresh air, an educational Carry On film with non-sexual gags, and plenty of energy in the telling…why can't films for grown-ups be this smart? Go to Full Review

Mark B Nov 21 I went into this film expecting to dislike it, but to my suprise I quite enjoyed it. It was fun to watch, lots of funny parts, my daughter enjoyed it a lot, Humour and education always go well hand in hand. Nick Frost is great in everything he is in. Very enjoyable. I wouldn't watch it again and again but I'd definitely recommend it to others especially families who have Kids aged 6 - 11.
