I grew up watching Barney tapes but just today on June 27th, 2018 I saw his movie. And it, admittedly, was cute. I enjoyed myself. I would even put it in my top 10, but of course i would not watch it on a regular basis. Did you know Roger Ebert gave it 3/4 stars? Grown ups also get this recommendation if they want something to poke fun at. For examples, Barney comes to life in the shower and a boy opens the curtain on him. Also, Barney changes a diaper while singing "If You're Happy And You Know It." This can also be seen as an allegory on faith. So, yes, this 19 year old highly recommends this baby movie to you. Bring out the child in you and enjoy!

There are some slow parts but just FFW through them - other parts are like magic for a 2 year old. The parts at the circus and restaurant are exciting. I also love the change in Cody from the beginning of the movie to the end. Using your imagination and having dreams are two themes that are emphasized throughout the movie. I have a new respect for Barney and his messages after watching this film. I wish they had mode more Barney Adventure films. We (grandkids & I) loved it!

Utter Crap. First of all, when I was a kid, I used to enjoy Barney when it aired on PBS. Nowadays, I can't believe how moronic this movie is. The plot is nothing more than a lot of bore. The characters are all babyish. Cody is the least favorite 'cause I think he's a jerk. In the beginning, his sister and her best friend act like a couple of mini-teenagers. And Barney, YES Barney, is, pardon my language, the crappiest crap in the history of crap if it were dumped on by a pile of horse crap, the crap will be too heavy if you try to pick up the crap with a crap scooper. If you want something that defines the meaning of the word "adventure", Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom would be an excellent choice. I'm sure it's got more action(and I mean it!) than "Barney's Greatest Adventure". -100 stars out of 100.

I can consider the fact that children are children and they will love what they love because it entertains them. I know this is a kid's film and all, based on a somewhat treasured children's show and I am actually cutting it slack by rating it a 2, honestly, because once you have seen the film, you will understand why so many realize how terrible it really is and why they feel the need to criticize it so hardly.First of all, I wasn't expecting it to be anywhere near good anyway, but I wasn't thinking this would be the worst movie ever either, and it wasn't, because surprisingly I have seen worse, but it is pretty freaking bad. I found myself laughing at it's utter stupidity, and that's really not the good kind of enjoyment when it boils down to the main point, and I was criticizing all the characters just for the heck of it; they were so bland and annoying that I balled my hands into fists at times. The story plot is stupid, characters are stupid, entertainment level is anything but low, just because you're so interested in how horrible it is, but bad, crappy, terrible, horrible and horrendous still all perfectly describe this movie. Stick to the Walt Disney's for your sake, because children are bound to enjoy one of them at least a little, and it will relieve you of the horror that is Barney, because I feel so sorry for you if your kid asks you to watch this with them.
