Problems abound from the rushed beginning all the way through the impossibly resolved ending.

The bricks are still yellow, but the road doesn't lead anywhere special.
Adam Markovitz, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
It's short on jokes and hampered by unmemorable musical numbers (including one about building a boat), and the film's niceness can't overcome the dopey tedium.
John Semley, Globe and Mail
Rotten
It's a little shocking how leaden the jokes are in this movie.
Bruce Ingram, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
All in all, the beloved kingdom of Oz is not well served, though there's just enough detectable affection to keep it from feeling like a pure cashing-in.
Nicolas Rapold, New York Times
