What to Know

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.

Christina Newland iNews.co.uk Without overplaying its hand, it hits all the major notes within the wild, inventive universe of block-breaking and Goomba-stomping. Rated: 3/5 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Peter Travers 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. Apr 21, 2023 Full Review John Wilmes 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. Apr 15, 2023 Full Review Samantha Schuster 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 Aug 8, 2025 Full Review Gavin Spoors 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 Aug 4, 2025 Full Review Patrick Beatty ABC4 Utah While I wanted to see maybe a more complex story here, I still found myself laughing and enjoying myself in the theater.
