The Lego Movie is an absolute blast—a whip-smart, surprisingly emotional family film where the toy property is seen less as a concrete template than a tool for seemingly limitless potential.

The Hollywood Reporter by Michael Rechtshaffen
It’s a non-stop blast from beginning to end, jam-packed with a wacky irreverence, dazzling state-of-the-art CGI (courtesy of Animal Logic) and a pitch-perfect voice cast headed by Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks and Will Ferrell.

Slate by Dana Stevens
A clever, vividly imagined, consistently funny, eye-poppingly pretty and oddly profound movie … about Legos.

Everything in The Lego Movie is, indeed, awesome.

New York Magazine (Vulture) by Bilge Ebiri
The LEGO Movie is the kind of animated free-for-all that comes around very rarely, if ever: A kids’ movie that matches shameless fun with razor-sharp wit, that offers up a spectacle of pure, freewheeling joy even as it tackles the thorniest of issues.

San Francisco Chronicle by Peter Hartlaub
The movie is a wonderful surprise, cleverly written and executed brick by brick with a visual panache.

Time by Richard Corliss
The funniest, cleverest, most exhaustingly exhilarating animated feature in ages.

Tampa Bay Times by Steve Persall
The jokes fly at a pace demanding viewers to either refrain from laughing (highly unlikely) or see The Lego Movie again to catch all the wondrous sights and amiable wit sliding by the first time.

Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman
It's hard to think of the last time a Pixar film made you go ''Wow!'' That's part of why The LEGO Movie is such outrageous and intoxicating fun.

Chicago Tribune by Michael Phillips
Finally! A comedy that works.

Village Voice by Amy Nicholson
Lord and Miller do great work within constraints, taking pre-made pieces and fashioning them into feats worthy of applause. It's no wonder they made a Lego movie — and it's no wonder it's so good.

Time Out London by Tom Huddleston
The LEGO Movie is sheer joy: the script is witty, the satire surprisingly pointed and the animation tactile and imaginative.

Total Film by Matt Maytum
Ridiculously funny and meticulously detailed, The LEGO Movie is far better than a toy tie-in movie has any right to be. Despite a couple of dips, you’ll be grinning throughout.

Empire by Olly Richards
The Lego Movie is bursting out of its box with enthusiasm and excitement for the possibilities of a little pile of nubby plastic.

Variety by Peter Debruge
Phil Lord and Christopher Miller irreverently deconstruct the state of the modern blockbuster and deliver a smarter, more satisfying experience in its place, emerging with a fresh franchise for others to build upon.

The Telegraph by Robbie Collin
For a shot of pure forward-leaping, backward-dreaming animated pleasure, pick brick.

McClatchy-Tribune News Service by Roger Moore
The Lego Movie amuses and never fails to leave the viewer –especially adults — a little dazzled at the demented audacity of it all.

Slant Magazine by R. Kurt Osenlund
All told, there's an ageless warmth to The LEGO Movie akin to that of the LEGO brand itself.
