First of all I was very impressed with the service and speed that I got from Amazon and the choice of movies that they have. The kids love the movie, I would definitely recommend this site.

This is a great movie. My daughter loves it and so do I. Jimmy is an interesting character who is smart, but not arrogant. He truly acts like a little boy with a huge brain.

I have to admit his friend who is a fan of Ultra Lord was one of my favorites. Check out his shower scene!

Jimmy Neutron is great. My wife and I picked this up and thought it was good. Its a kids movie/show but its got jokes in there for adults. It teached good values and also is good teaching for kids due to the fact that the main character, Jimmy and his rival, Cindy are intecuallty smarter than eyerone else. And if even the cool kids (Nick) follow behind the brains.

My 6 year old insisted that we rent this movie and I found myself loving it more than he did. Now all of a sudden I am a die hard Jimmy fan. My son and I watch it together all the time. I haven't figured out yet if it's more suited for kids or their parents. I recommend this movie for everyone whether or not you have kids.

My daughter loves this movie. She watches it again and again. She especially loves the 2 music videos after the movie.
As an adult, I also find this movie very entertaining with a good story and great graphics. The movie is funny and exciting. When you watch it over new details come out of the story.
The movie highlights kids and they are the heros - very entertaining (not written to deliver a moral or real life - It's a cartoon).

Kids I work with and hang out with loved this movie. However, many of my peers who have seen it, did not like it at all. Therefore, when I watched this movie for the first time I didn't know what to expect. I was really impressed by JIMMY NEUTRON: BOY GENIUS. Sure it's a kid's movie. However, there are a lot of things in this film that only adults will appreciate. For example, there are references to Star Trek, DUNE, and THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT that children just won't get. Also, even though this is a kids movie, as an adult I was highly entertained by it (the kid who loves Ultralord cracked me up everytime and I loved the amusement park rides space ships). Granted, the animation is a different sort than SHREK or MONSTERS, INC. and some people seemed turned off by it. However, I found the retro-computer-animated look rather refreshing. Overall, this is a delightful children's film that has several surprises just for adults.

I'm sorry to say, but I expected better. I think this film was made poorly. I mean,it is so predictable. This movie is about Jimmy Neutron, a boy genius who invents things. One day, aliens come and take away the whole neighberhood'parents. The children first are happy, but then realize they have been taken by aliens. See this movie to find out what happens.

Jimmy Neutron:Boy Genius was better than i expected. It makes you
laugh so hard that you will just love it. Believe what the
critics say about it(and it's Oscar nomination, too!). When kids
sneak out to an amusment park for the opening night, all of the
kid's parents get kidnapped. For a couple days it seems like
heaven to the kids but a few days later they don't know what to
do without parents. so Jimmy is trying to save everyone's parents
and for that, Jimmy soon becomes the most popular kid in school.
Wait and see yourself if Jimmy's parents(and the rest of the
world's parents) get saved. RENT IT. I URGE YOU

Bad: After watching this with my cousins, I wasen't that impressed. In almost every sentence that comes out of Jimmy's mouth is a HUGE word that young children wouldn't understand. The whole movie was like this. There's no way kids can understand what he's saying. That was the big thing that really bothered me.

Good: This movie did have some interesting and very creative things in it. At the end of the movie, how they turned fair rides into space ships and showing how they launched off into space, each with their own creative way to 'lift off'. That's something that would catch any kids attention, maybe even a few groundups.

Even though the language is waaaaaaayyy over a kids head, the fact is that children would like this movie. Sense I am older, the jokes in this movie were very dul to me, but children think these kind of jokes are funny and it makes them laugh, isn't that what's truely important? This is the kind of movie that would bring out the imagination of a child! And children like that.

I suspect this movie will appeal more to the kid in the adult
than the kid in the kid. It's wonderfully imaginative, and it
fufills most kids' fantasy: do anything you want, and never get
hurt. Jimmy (in fact all the kids) flies through space in an
open cockpit, and nothing happens. They even camp outside
overnight on an asteroid--with a fire, even. And he's got a
great robo-dog that has more implements on him than the most
complex Swiss Army knife you can think of. I doubt I'll ever
eat chicken again, though.
