Four baby turtles come in contact with a mysterious substance called ooze and then are transformed into human sized crime fighters. The leader of the turtles is a human size rat who has come into contact with the same green ooze. The rat was a former pet of a ninja master and therefore uses his skills to train the four turtles in martial arts. They befriend a local journalist and with her help attempt to find the group behind a crime wave in New York City. Starring Josh Pais ("The Station Agent," "A Beautiful Mind"), Elias Koteas ("Zodiac," "Fallen"), and Judith Hoag ("Armageddon," "Cadillac Man").

Critics Consensus: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is exactly as advertised: one-liners, brawls, and general silliness. Good for the young at heart, irritating for everyone else.

Feelin' Film Podcast

Patrick Hicks

The first iteration of the Turtle brothers on the big screen balances grittiness and campy while managing to give us one the best origin stories of the IP.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was, if not conventionally good, very, very interesting.

The calculated money-grubbing motives are so obvious it overwhelms the delightful turtles.

The fights and stunts in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are genuinely exciting, made all the more remarkable by the fact that they're mostly being done by guys in 50 pounds of foam rubber.

So should you take your kid to see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? I'm not recommending that you do - this movie will not enrich your child's worldview.
