Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Anders Twetman I know this is a kids film but I have to judge it from my own perspective:Oh, the horror, the horror. I will be dreaming nightmares about this big purple #&@$%½£ (the kind of strong language that this deserves is forbidden on IMDb). I never saw Barney the *beep* *beep* dinosaur before but good God is he annoying. His squeaky voice, the stupid look on his face and the conceited morals about dreams and whatnot that he keeps shoving in your face all come together to form an incredibly obnoxious whole. Added to this is the fact that the gigantic stuffed animal has an ability to disappear like he's a *beep beep* ninja. It's like no reasonable grown up (crazy circus people don't count) never see him until the end of the film and tat really pisses me off. One of the kids even says that he wouldn't just disappear but, guess what kid, he just goes away when you need him the most. The contrived plot, poor visual effects and so on are nothing compared to Barney himself. After seeing this I have come to fear for our future, I believe kids to be smarter than this, seeing Barney the dinosaur at an early age will probably dumb the kids down until the only possible future is that of Idiocracy (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/).The film ends with Barney singing "I love you, you love me, we're a happy family. With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you, won't you say you love me to?"My reply: NO!

MartinHafer Currently, "Barney's Great Adventure" is #87 on IMDb's Bottom 100 List. Now this is a bit deceptive, as very few kids in Barney's demographics vote on films on IMDb or review them, and the show and movie were never meant to appeal to anyone older than 7 (at the most). And, like some kids' shows, it's like a trip to Hell for parents who are roped into taking the kids to see it. It sure would be nice if this film were scored on what kids think of it as well. Would they like the film? Well, it's hard to say, as my kids are all grown and haven't liked Barney in over a decade. So, take this review from a middle-aged man with a grain of salt. Your kids might like it.So why, then, did I watch this film? Well, I am a bit crazy, but try to see as many of IMDb's Bottom 100 as I can. Aside from some that are just not available in the States (such as a notoriously bad German film and several Turkish films), I've done a good job of keeping up with this infamous list. Crazy hobby, huh?! The film begins with three kids and an obligatory ethnic friend (this is required for Barney episodes) going to stay with the grandparents. The baby and little girl are pretty nice, but the boy (who appears about 9 or 10) is surly and hates everything. So, when his little sister and her friend are playing with Barney, he is miserable and hates this "kid's stuff". However, when Barney comes to life for real, he's instantly smitten by Barney's wonderfulness, right? No. The boy is still a blasé jerk. Can Barney's incurable optimism and sweetness eventually win him over or will he have to bring out the big guns--BJ and Baby Bop (god, no,...EVERYONE hates Baby Bop)?! I actually didn't think the movie was that bad, for what it was. The grouchy boy (Cody) was actually like having an adult follow along during much of the movie so he could comment about how stupid the whole thing was. Too bad Cody's cold, cold heart was captured by Barney, as when he became enamored with Barney and his god-awful friends as well, any sort of edge was removed from the movie. But who expects an edgy Barney movie?! And, who expects much more than the film is?! It's got the obligatory singing and kid's stuff--what more could it be? Frankly, I didn't think the film was that terrible until Baby Bop showed up--then it got so sickly sweet that adults in the theater must have begun contemplating suicide...or homicide! The timing of this film was, apparently, pretty poor when it debuted. The Barney craze of the early 90s had passed and so the film did not sell all that well in theaters (it lost money in the US according to IMDb). As most adults hate Barney and his friends, getting one to sit through the film in the theater with their kids is problematic. And, many of the really young kids just couldn't sit still for the film's running time--whereas the TV show is shorter and the kids didn't have to sit still in a seat during the show. I think all this really limited the film, but might have made DVD sales less of a problem. My bet is DVD sales weren't bad at all.
