After the Bergens invade Troll Village, Poppy (Anna Kendrick), the happiest Troll ever born, and the overly-cautious, curmudgeonly Branch (Justin Timberlake) set off on a journey to rescue her friends. Their mission is full of adventure and mishaps, as this mismatched duo try to tolerate each other long enough to get the job done.

Critics Consensus

Trolls brings its instantly recognizable characters to the big screen in a colorful adventure that, while geared toward the younger set, isn't without rewards for parents.

Tara Brady

Irish Times

Kendrick and Timberlake bring snappy comic timing, even when the dialogue could be wittier. Co-director Walt Dohrn steals the picture as a high-fiving cloud-bro.

Rated: 3/5

The Age (Australia)

I was confident Nicholas Stoller's Storks would take the prize for most obnoxious family entertainment of the year, but Trolls -- another garish, computer-animated comedy -- instantly lowers the bar.

Rated: 2/5

I didn't like it, not at all, and while I'm certain there are kids out there who will undoubtedly feel differently don't expect me to sing a different tune on the matter anytime soon.

Rated: 1.5/4

Clearly like the fairy tale that Trolls is, the happy ending, in this case a very happy one, sows the possibility of the start of a franchise... [Full review in Spanish]

Trolls may be one of the more forgettable (brand tie-in movies), but while its here everyone will be entertained.

NME (New Musical Express)

There's nothing to really dislike here; it's too chirpy and enthusiastic for that. There's just a disappointing lack of effort to do more than is expected of it.

I might be a bit biased since Trolls was my FIRST movie I ever got see in a movie theater but I love this movie. Something about hearing Anna Kendrick be so happy and overly optimistic while Justin Timberlake being overly, majorly sad and negative makes this movie so much better. Just that once scene of Branch tossing Poppy's ukulele into a fire makes me so happy

Here, a movie that goes out to the optimists who have an obsession of joy & brightly colours. I really love this movie from DreamWorks - it is really engaging to me with being colourful & full of hype songs that I enjoy/make me happy. There are a few lessons that you have been taught, such as showing your soft spot when I see your true colours & that is why I love you. It also stops jealousy with the Bergens just wanting to hunt Trolls to buy them happiness when they helped them unleash the inner happiness in them. Then there is courage with Poppy wanting to not give up & take risks to save her people, she rules. BTW, I also think the acting was awesome as if the cast was having a great time.

Cons 1. The reasons why the movie is horrible and doomed from the start is there is too much cringeworthy and cheesy dialogue, especially the controversial “ But that's crazy talk. Who wouldn't wanna be with you?” dialogue from Chef, the most controversial and worst dialogues ever in a DreamWorks movie. Also there is one stupid line where Dinkles says “Oh Snap”, another corny dialogue. 2. Sometimes the movie can get way too boring, watching it over and over again with no total meaningless. Making it feel like this is DreamWorks’s first and only animated film to date. 3. The musical numbers serve no purpose no other than make the movie hit the 90-minute mark. 4. Overall, this movie is the reason why The Boss Baby franchise was horrible, thankfully Captain Underpants was the first good movie after Kung Fu Panda 3.
