Zoinks! Two years after a clash of egos forced Mystery Inc. to close its doors, Scooby-Doo and his clever crime-solving cohorts Fred (Freddie Prinze Jr.), Daphne (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Shaggy (Matthew Lillard) and Velma (Linda Cardellini) are individually summoned to Spooky Island to investigate a series of paranormal incidents at the ultra-hip Spring Break hot spot.

Critics Consensus

Though Lillard is uncannily spot-on as Shaggy, Scooby Doo is a tired live-action update, filled with lame jokes.

1/4

Even its look is awfully cheesy and clunky, the SFX notwithstanding. Scooby Doo makes Stuart Little seem a Citizen Kane in comparison.

Too scary for most kids, too dumb for most teens.

Scooby-Doo knows when to take itself seriously and when to laugh at itself -- even if its audience isn't laughing along at every gag.

... every inch a live action cartoon with a little contemporary self-awareness and about as much substance as a Scooby snack.

The pitch-perfect casting of the members of Mystery Inc. is what makes Scooby-Doo compulsively rewatchable. The plot is serviceable, and most adults will be able to unmask the villain long before the Mystery Inc. team does, but that doesn’t matter.

3.5/5

If you can accept a pixellated pooch, you'll be rewarded with an entertaining, un-taxing romp that will delight fans and enthrall youngsters.

I've never been so perplexed in my life. On one hand, this is one of the worst movies ever made. On the other end, I was laughing profusely at fart jokes for about two minutes. That's about all I got man

This movie a quite enjoyable in a nacho libre sort of way. The dorky jokes and obvious satire dialogue make it a fun watch with nostalgia added. It’s not a Chris Nolan masterpiece or anything so everyone can just relax and enjoy it for what it is.

This movie has me laughing out loud every time and is an absolute classic, great casting and people need to remember it’s a kids movie so of course it’s not going to be technically perfect but the jokes are great and it will forever be one of my all time favourites!
