Quotes 

• Gene Siskel - Host : Okay, next movie, and it's "The Rugrats Movie".

  [to Roger] 

  Gene Siskel - Host : We cover the waterfront, don't we?

• Gene Siskel - Host : [reviewing "The Rugrats Movie"]  Now, I'm about seven times the target age for this picture, but not that long ago, as a younger dad, I got a kick out of watching the TV show with my pre-teenage daughters. I think "The Rugrats Movie" is not quite at the level of the TV series.

  Roger Ebert - Host : Well, y'know, I'm seven times the target age, too. I la- I thought it was bright, I thought it was lively, I thought it was fun within certain limits. I can't recommend it to anyone over the ''Rugrats'' target demographic, I really can't. This is not a movie, uh, for anyone who doesn't already watch ''Rugrats'' on television. I have a feeling for them, it's gonna be just fine, and they're gonna like it a lot, because it has that kind of simplistic, uh... child-oriented, poo and pee-based humor that they just love.

  Gene Siskel - Host : Well, okay. There's a hearty recommendation.

  [Roger chuckles] 

  Gene Siskel - Host : That's not gonna pop up in any quote ads you're gonna see.

  [chuckles] 

  Roger Ebert - Host : Has the "poo and pee"-type material that ya like.
