Critics Consensus

Though weighed down by a familiar story and an overactive final act, Thelma the Unicorn delivers enough oddball humor, colorful energy, and heartfelt charm to make for a reasonably pleasant family watch.

There was a handful of things that I enjoyed, but ultimately I thought it was empty.
