Puss in Boots prances along on three basic truths. One, cats are funny. Two, vain Spanish cats in high-heeled musketeer boots are even funnier. Lastly, booted, vain Spanish cats voiced by a breathy Antonio Banderas are flat-out hilarious.
An almost purr-fect little film that even a dog owner can enjoy.
It would overstate matters to say Puss in Boots leaves its cat holding the bag (we had to get that in). But it also leaves its hero awaiting a richer fable, one befitting his charms and his portrayer's talents.
The character may be here to save the day, but the movie's only here to pass the time and it does that just fine.
It's the morally-cracked Humpty who provides the film's emotional trajectory. Puss in Boots is a fun feline frolic -- with just a little egg on its face.
Almost shockingly good. And not just because a lot of you will approach it with lowered expectations.
Puss in Boots delivers just the right mixture of fun, exciting and super cute.
Combine the high-definition picture and sound with the beauty and complexity of the animation, and you get a spectacular audiovisual feast. (Blu-ray Combo edition)
Clever and witty enough for adults and colorful and zany enough for children. Moreover, it's adventurous enough for anyone to like, no matter what their age.
Puss proves more than capable and deserving of the solo spotlight, his outsize bravado, machismo, ego spilling out beyond the big screen in fiercely funny feline fashion.
"Puss in Boots" shows that there's certainly enough in him to create a new hero beloved by both children and merchandise executives.
Avoids all the worst tendencies of the later Shrek movies.

With Banderas' scene-stealing feline finally getting his own film, the franchise now has a worthy successor to the two original Shrek movies.
A sort of origin tail, I mean tale, 'Puss in Boots' is a furry feline frolic of flamenco, fights and fleeing. And fun. Antonio Banderas' voice provides the perfect vocal cords for Puss, who often stole the show in the 'Shrek' movies.
I'm pretty sure that the reason Antonio Banderas was put on this planet was to make Puss in Boots speak... [H]ilariously and endlessly inventive...
There are betrayals and double-crosses galore, rattling chases and swish sword fights, fleeting visual gags, mischievous verbal jokes and, best of all, a frisky flamenco dance-off between Puss and Kitty that will leave the viewer purring with pleasure.
Puss's boots are delectable things which could almost have been the product of that classic fairy tale, The Elves and the Shoemaker ( ... ) and every time ( ... ) we see those little gnashers, the film is a technical marvel.
Puss In Boots is the cat's meow.
An attractive adventure yarn that combines the fairytale and the western.
While its fairytale-inspired premise lacks the subversive wit of the better Shrek films, Puss in Boots is an agreeably snappy, visually enticing yarn nonetheless.
Puss in Boots is a highly amusing little diversion that will mesmerise the kids and hopefully give the adults a naughty little cackle as well.
