"Rugrats in Paris" Enough Inside Jokes for Parents to Stay Awake.

By Ted Pfeifer

If you have read any of my reviews for kids movies before then you will know that I let my five year old son do the reviewing. I watch him react during the film and then we talk about what he liked and didn't like afterwards.

My feeling is that the best way to let people know if "Rugrats in Paris" is good is to let me express my sons take on it. First off I will give you the plot, Chuckie is in search of a new mom because all of the others kids mothers are alive.

It is done in a very touching way that most adults will understand but kids probably won't. So some things transpire and the group is off to Paris. My son truly enjoyed the movie, he laughed out loud at parts and also curled up next to me in excitement at others. It is a very fun film. One thing I did notice was that 45 minutes into the movie the kids in the audience began to get restless but that only lasted a short time as the action picked up again.

For adults, the movie is part "Godfather", part "Jurassic Park", part "King Kong" and part "Godzilla" along with some fun jibes thrown in about Disneland. In the end it is nice to know that if you have to go see "Rugrats" with your kids there is enough inside jokes to keep you awake.
