3/5

Terry Norris steals the show as the irrepressible grandpa who has little intention of putting his rakish fighter-pilot past behind him.

2/5

Ed Oxenbould, the talented Aussie child actor also recently seen in The Visit, gives another appealing performance in this otherwise bland and flimsy kids' movie.

3/5

The planes' flight is invariably CGI-assisted, and the resulting comedy is mild, but there is a relaxed, happy atmosphere.

Paper Planes hardly pushes the family film envelope, but fine acting and deft direction help stick the landing...

3/5

A good, old-fashioned family film full of high-flying imagination and real life values, exuding a familiar but reassuring fun and warmth that will have even the greatest of cynics reaching for the stationery.

Really loved this sweet movie, and I liked that the bully quickly became a best mate, how the friendship with Kimi progressed, the relationship between the other competitor and his father, and the grandfather's role. Plus the seamless mixture of magic and reality.

A film I recommend. Uplifting story and beautiful cinematography. Reminded me a bit of the Cloak and Dagger movie.

UGH! Lame, predictable and just UGH! The recipe seemed to be taking first world problems, mixing it in with unoriginal scripts and pepper with 'white noise' shots that don't say anything. The only parts worth watching are with Julian Dennison because of his expressions and bring life to the shot.
