"This is a film made to babysit kids for 80 minutes during the summer months, and shouldn't be regarded as anything more."  FilmJerk.com  Brian Orndorf

2/5
"With 'Barnyard,' the androgynous udders, as annoying as they can be, are about the only original thing to be found in the whole movie."  eFilmCritic.com  Dan Lybarger

1/5
"Forget the confusion of the he-cows that populate the film; the real problem is that Barnyard is just a lousy, lousy movie."  eFilmCritic.com  David Cornelius

1.5/4
"This is the most dubious animation since Robert Zemeckis's creepy The Polar Express, only uglier, lazier, and with a more indisputable racist streak."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

B-
"So, you know, it's fine. It's nothing special."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

C-
"Gary Larson did more with this idea in a single Far Side panel than Steve Oedekerk and his army of animators can muster over eighty minutes in this tepid computer-generated kidflick."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

7/10
"Click here to read review"  sumno.com  Jaroslav Vishtaljuk

3/5
"A beatifully animated simple but fun plot, carries enough giggles for all age groups."  Movies for the Masses  Joseph Proimakis

1.5/5
"Barnyard is brought to us by the same comedic genius that made Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. Use that as your personal gauge about how good (or bad) this movie will be."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

C
"... an odd mix of coming of age film and an animated Babe where bulls wag exaggerated udders along with their feminine counterparts."  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

"Ugh. I need a shower -- I want to be hosed down. This is not the feeling you generally want to be left with after seeing a children’s movie."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

2/4
"That the lead character is a 'male cow' complete with udders shows how confused the picture is."  Mr. Brown's Movies  Michael Dequina

2/5
"Barnyard isn't a complete waste of time, it's just too familiar."  Film Threat  Michael Ferraro

2.5/4
"All the cows have udders - even the male ones. In real life, only female cows have udders. What kind of sick, alternate cow universe does this movie take place in anyway?"  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

1.5/5
"The design is uninteresting, the characters are bland and the story is terrible."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

C
"Relatively unfunny comedy about barnyard animals. It is notable mainly for its anatomically incorrect portrayal of bulls with udders."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

2/5
"The animation is perfectly colorful and the voice actors earn their paychecks, but it's blatantly obvious that this thing started production without a screenplay -- and hit the screens without a plot."  DVDTalk.com  Scott Weinberg

2/4
"[T]he culture of juvenile pranks and misdemeanors and a nightly hoedown that combines a Vegas casino and a cattle-town country bar is more appropriate for older kids..."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker

1.5/4
"A Lion King clone that's tailored to the Fisher-Price crowd."  Filmcritic.com  Sean O'Connell

1.5/4
"There's barely enough of a story to sustain a short film, much less a feature."  Reel.com  Timothy Knight
