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.

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.

Rated: 2.5/4

AV Club

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.

Rated: D+

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.

Rated: 2/5

Radio Times

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.

Rated: 3/5

Common Sense Media

The tone never quite settles, and there's a sense of missed opportunity here in making something so specific just a bit too universal.

Rated: 2/5

Mac the Movie Guy

A misguided adaptation of a Roald Dahl classic that strips its source material to bare bones, but fails to rebuild it with anything better than it had before.

Rated: 52/100

O filme é divertido em algumas partes, mas é cansativo. Os pestes (The twits) sao personagens legais mais é so isso mesmo "legais" nada mas.

I do not find useful to teach children that to be free in this world means to be mean. The first song closed my available time for this film.

Could barely make it through 10 minutes without cringing. What a way to ruin a truly wonderful and funny piece of children's literature. Other than the name there is little to nothing linking it to the book. Truly insulting.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

O filme tinha Potencial de contar uma história legal e este filme até que consegue Fazer algo bom, o problema dele é o Humor Nojento que atrapalha pessoas mais Sensíveis e Aspectos forçados que estraga a essência de Road Dahl

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Visually chaotic and overstimulating, made even less sense than the original Dahl novel (which is saying something). I kept thinking it was almost done and it just kept going and getting dumber.
