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 Dec 27, 2016 Full Review Jake Wilson 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 Nov 30, 2016 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com 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 Nov 4, 2016 Full Review Rolando Gallego EscribiendoCine 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] Rated: 7/10 Apr 13, 2023 Full Review Victoria Luxford City AM Trolls may be one of the more forgettable (brand tie-in movies), but while its here everyone will be entertained. Rated: 3/5 Feb 18, 2022 Full Review Olly Richards 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. Rated: 3/5 Apr 23, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Jonathan K The movie feels very Glee-like with all the reimagined pop song snippets. The musical numbers? Not super memorable, but who cares because they’re all in service of one of the best pure pop songs I’ve heard in my lifetime: "Can't Stop The Feeling". Honestly, it almost feels like the entire film exists just to get to this song and the final dance party number at the climax. And for that alone, I’ll give it three stars. That song is just too good, and it fits perfectly with the borderline obnoxious positivity running throughout the film. It’s not a very funny animated movie, but it’s cute enough, even if it’s a bit saccharine at times. And the story itself is very basic. Really, the whole thing is just a vehicle for the soundtrack, which does have some great original songs, they're just strangely only in the credits. Maybe they were supposed to be in the movie but got cut, though I don’t think that’s the case. I can't stop the feeling that this started more as a music or soundtrack concept with big names attached that clearly would sell units, and then the story came second. Capitalism at its finest. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/11/25 Full Review Tyler P The clipshow format still bothers me, but the animation being felt scrapbook land, and the sheer audacity of some of the plot points and such? I can't help it I get moderate enjoyment out of passively watching this in unavoidable scenarios (I've worked at summer camps most summers of my teen/young adult life) & it's a solid movie that will likely hold up for a couple decades (but then again if we keep getting movies the likes of Spiderverse, Mitchell's vs The Machines, & Mutant Mayhem? Perhaps it won't) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/15/24 Full Review Harriet R Fun movie, fun characters, fun songs. Cute storyline. Super fun for kids. I loved this when I was younger. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Lisa M A fantastic feel good movie for all. Especially needed right now!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review Claire D Terrible Movie this should never exist Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review David M Forced into a rewatch by the daughter, it had more good gags and greater visual inventiveness than I remembered. It also has a weirdly dark central premise to provide jeopardy, which could probably have been engineered in a different way. A very starry voice cast isn't used as well as it could be, and it shoots for an Inside Out style emotional depth, but it doesn't get anywhere close to it, ending instead with an idea that's typically saccharine and twee. Anna Kendrick is enjoying herself in the lead role, and Justin Timberlake is a decent choice, but the script doesn't give anything like enough to most of the cast to do what they can. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Read all reviews
