| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordIt's visual eye candy in the nether world and not much more. |
| CinerinaKarina MontgomeryIt's pretty funny. It's absurdist funny, not so much situational as just weird and cool and "yikes!" and surreal. |
| Matinee MagazineChuck RudolphSo dreadfully unfunny and unbearably shrill that watching it makes you feel like you've been trapped in Hell for eternity. |
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovThere's a special place in my heart for movies that create new worlds for us to inhabit. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh Larsen...an outrageously funny demonstration of how our interior angst can be put into the service of art. |
| Salon.comCharles TaylorA giddy madcap classic, one of the wildest and funniest American comedies in years. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezA shapeless, chaotic, overly frantic comedy that manages to make almost no sense, even if you're paying close attention. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThere's unwieldy mess -- but there's also unruly brilliance to this dark and funny story about the havoc that ensues when a man's uncensored Freudian id is allowed the run of the place. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasGrand fantasy, in which Brendan Fraser and stylish design and energetic special effects play off one another for maximum fun. |
| New York PostLou LumenickLike so many movies that depend on effects for effect, plot comes in a poor second to spectacle. That leaves the Fraser, funny and sexy as hell, left with little chance to prove it. |
