Critics Consensus

Charmingly broad and appropriately goofy, Horrible Histories: The Movie - Rotten Romans lands its punchlines often enough to entertain its target audience.

Time Out

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

Rated: 2/5

Empire Magazine

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

Rated: 2/5

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

Rated: 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.

Rated: 3/5

…Horrible Histories is a breath of fresh air, a Carry On film with non-sexual gags, and plenty of energy in the telling…

Rated: 3/5
