Comments | Themes offer mild to moderate complexity, dealing with the relationships between the living world and that of the dead. Other less important themes deal with the clash between good and evil, and betrayal and corruption. The theme of love is also present. Children under 10 will find the themes confusing and unsettling, however at 10-12 level, the presence of parents will offer the necessary guidance. |

Cape Argus / The Star Theresa Smith Even Bridges can't save formulaic flop. | 5 | |

ReelViews James Berardinelli In R.I.P.D., we have a legitimate train wreck of a motion picture: a film that doesn't work on any level. It's not funny. It's not exciting. It's not engaging. It's a waste of time and money. Having seen it, I can understand why it was hidden from critics. The disappointment is that it wasn't hidden from everyone else as well. | 8 | |
ScreenIt T. Durgin For a studio dump job (a late July release with no critics' screenings), this was better than I thought it would be. But it's nothing you should pay full price for. | 9 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer It has its moments -- most of them courtesy of Jeff Bridges' rootin' tootin' performance as an undead Wild West sheriff -- but R.I.P.D. is ultimately too dim-witted and formulaic to satisfy. | 3 | |
