Puss in Boots prances along on three basic truths. One, cats are funny. Two, vain Spanish cats in high-heeled musketeer boots are even funnier. Lastly, booted, vain Spanish cats voiced by a breathy Antonio Banderas are flat-out hilarious.
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

An almost purr-fect little film that even a dog owner can enjoy.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

It would overstate matters to say Puss in Boots leaves its cat holding the bag (we had to get that in). But it also leaves its hero awaiting a richer fable, one befitting his charms and his portrayer's talents.

The character may be here to save the day, but the movie's only here to pass the time and it does that just fine.
