Critics Consensus

While it's nowhere near as thrilling as turtle tipping your way to 128 lives, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a colorful -- albeit thinly plotted -- animated adventure that has about as many Nintendos as Nintendon'ts.

Without overplaying its hand, it hits all the major notes within the wild, inventive universe of block-breaking and Goomba-stomping.

ABC News

This lively computer-animated take on the video game just opened and it’s already the biggest box-office smash of 2023. Despite lapses into dull and disposable, it’s also a godsend for parents seeking family entertainment for the 5-year-old in all of us.

Chicago Reader

Among the many errors of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, screenwriter Matthew Fogel plops him and his brother Luigi into a milquetoast Brooklyn family that doubts them and disrespects their small-business dreams.

Cinéfilo Serial

It offers us an entertaining plot with beautiful messages. The animation of the characters and the universe it creates is one of its strongest points. A film that delivers and joins the new list of good adaptations. [Full Review in Spanish]

Rated: 3.5/5

FILMHOUNDS Magazine

It's just disappointing that Mario, Luigi and the gang have to settle for something so mediocre, particularly when big-budget western animation has seen incredible features from Sony and Dreamworks.

Rated: 3/5

While I wanted to see maybe a more complex story here, I still found myself laughing and enjoying myself in the theater.
