Reaction: Jacob Jones' last animated film, The Young Heiress, flopped hard at the box office, so the numbers for this one are very welcome to the studio.
"Despite its appearance as a cartoon pilot, GET GEORGIE features a voice cast that injects excellent humor into the film. Goodwin delivers a strong performance as the protagonist, while Haddish serves great, and Efron excels as a charismatic villain. Although some of the other characters are not as impressive, they do not detract from the movie's overall quality." - Quinine Rothenberg, Slant Magazine
"A good amount of the action and humor failed to land for me, and the overall vibe and tone of the film felt too familiar and derivative. All that said though, writer Jacob Jones injects the story with a infectious sense of fun that is hard to ignore." - Dave Manning, Ridgefield Press
"While I like the cast in their roles (especially Zac Efron), they are never utilized to their full potential. The plot goes too long with too many side missions/subplots, and the longer it goes, the more I have less interest than I began with. Overall, I wished there was more focus as I could see future stories being told later. Though to be honest, I doubt this film will get that good will." - Beau Henson, Pioneer Press
Rated PG for adventure violence and some crude humor
