Mr. and Mrs. Twit are the meanest, smelliest, nastiest people in the world who also happen to own and operate the most disgusting, most dangerous, most idiotic amusement park in the world, Twitlandia. But when the Twits rise to power in their town, two brave orphans and a family of magical animals are forced to become as tricky as the Twits in order to save the city. A hysterically funny, wild ride of a film (chock-full of the Twits' beloved tricks--from the Wormy Spaghetti to the Dreaded Shrinks), The Twits is also a story for our times, about the never-ending battle between cruelty and empathy.

2.5/4
Some of it feels a bit underdeveloped, but the suggestion that we could all be living in Twitlandia if we don’t find deeper wells of empathy on all sides feels like a valuable one. Go to Full Review

The Twits is exactly what one might imagine a Netflix Dahl adaptation to be: Diluted, simplistic animation, as cloying and feckless and smoothed over as anything from the last decade of Illumination films. Go to Full Review

2/5
Any of Dahl’s gruesome sense of fun is obliterated by a bulldozing message of empathy and kindness... This is vile and revolting in all the wrong ways. Go to Full Review

This is a mess, and even getting the dreaded shrinks cannot save us from its mediocrity. Go to Full Review
Calum Baker Radio Times Oct 29
3/5
The CG picture-book aesthetic varies in quality, but the voice cast is largely excellent, with Martindale and Vegas especially enthusiastic as the crazed, slapstick villains. Go to Full Review
Kat Halstead Common Sense Media Oct 27
2/5
The tone never quite settles, and there's a sense of missed opportunity here in making something so specific just a bit too universal. Go to Full Review

Darran L @RT08075593 May 5 Absolute garbage,they've taken a classic and turned it in to americanised rubbish. If I could rate it lower i would. STOP DESTOYING CLASSICS. See more Jack J @bsmeczek May 1 I haven't read the original Twits novel this is derived from, but this movie is really terrible. It's too sing-songy and the songs aren't even that great, the plot is not captivating at all (and is very different from the book I hear), and the movie just feels SO incredibly long despite only being a bit over 90 minutes. I didn't even finish it because watching paint dry might as well be more fun. See more BowsersWaffles L. @BowsersWaffles Apr 30 This is legitimately the worst movie I’ve ever seen. See more Isabelle M. @Izzy124 Apr 28 This movie was ok, but too much singing See more Marcus H @RT47723263 Apr 26 This movie was disgusting !
