My 6 and 9 year olds love this movie. As I type this we are watching it for the third time since it arrived a few days ago.

This is not Citizen Kane, obviously, but for what it is, it works really well. The story is simple and mostly predictable. The characters aren’t particularly deep. But this is based off a cartoon. I wouldn’t expect anything more than we are given.

Entering it with that frame of mind, it’s fun, moves along easily, and has a number of scenes that had my kids laugh out loud. There’s no profanity or suggestive scenes, so it’s silly and family friendly.

It’s a shame that Universal has largely turned their back on America’s favorite woodpecker. I would love to have seen this put out in theaters and actually given some support.

Still though, with a limited budget and seemingly minimal support, they were still able to crank out a nice, simple, easy movie with a long beloved cartoon hero.

I have a feeling we will watch this again (and again...), and I’m good with that.

My son and his friends LOVED it! My son had a movie night and the feature presentation was this Woody Woodpecker movie! They raved about it all night long. They are 11 and 12 years old.

My son says his favorite part was when Woody Woodpecker was playing the drums in the band to help his new friends out. (My son plays the drums in his 6th grade band.) 😊

Update: My son has watched this movie again with the neighbor kids while on winter break from school. They all loved it as well! Ages 8-13

Update: We went on a school trip to Kalahari with the 6-8 grade bands. We brought this movie to play on the bus ride back home and it was a hit! I don’t know what the age range was (I assume 11-14) but those kids LOVED this movie also!

It wasn't as bad as some people said it was. I enjoyed it very much and I am glad I got it.

Hilarious

You won't be sorry for purchasing this movie. It is humorous, but at the same time it makes a few serious points. And Woody is presented in his well-known persona of zany, but with loyalty to his friends and a good heart.

So So movie.

i really liked it did woody justice

It's a good family movie that's funny
