Critics Consensus

Charmingly broad and appropriately goofy, Horrible Histories: The Movie - Rotten Romans lands its punchlines often enough to entertain its target audience.

The tunes aren't particularly catchy, the outfits aren't that over the top, and the fart jokes, well, stink.

Horrible Histories never escapes the sense of feeling more like a feature-length TV special than a movie.

As light and silly as Horrible Histories can be, there's a subversive quality to it, too.

It never quite hits the -- albeit grand -- heights of its smaller screen offering.

The film’s sense of humour is hardly subtle – there’s a mountain of potty humour and nods to contemporary devices like iPhones – but I’d be lying if I said it didn’t tickle my funny bone at times.

…there’s so few British films made, and fewer good comedies, that Horrible Histories: The Movie is a breath of fresh air, an educational Carry On film with non-sexual gags, and plenty of energy in the telling…why can't films for grown-ups be this smart?

A pure, very British, silly, and funny comedy. No violence. I would have loved it as a kid, and I had a good laugh as an adult as well.

I went into this film expecting to dislike it, but to my suprise I quite enjoyed it. It was fun to watch, lots of funny parts, my daughter enjoyed it a lot, Humour and education always go well hand in hand. Nick Frost is great in everything he is in. Very enjoyable. I wouldn't watch it again and again but I'd definitely recommend it to others especially families who have Kids aged 6 - 11.
