| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...easily stands as Sommers' most accomplished work to date. |
| The PlaylistDrew TaylorOdd Thomas is a much better film than it's non-release would suggest. Hopefully one day it'll find it's audience and people will appreciate it for something other than just being better than "Phantoms." |
| The Hollywood OutsiderAaron PetersonOdd Thomas is one paranormal investigator I cannot wait to watch in action again. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanFor whatever the flaws - and believe me, there are a few - Odd Thomas is just such a goofball charmer that I happily succumbed to its pleasures. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfUnnecessary overkill, either explaining things or destroying things as it inspects the titular character's powers. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonIt feels smaller and more rushed - and less plausible - than it should, but Anton Yelchin is charming, and the snappy comic tone sometimes works. |
| MetroMatt Prigge[Stephen] Sommers might be the worst director working who's not Uwe Boll, who at least has accidental charm. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakI've never read a Koontz novel, but I don't think his target audience is pre-teens. Sadly, I'm not sure anyone much older would find the [film] to be more than novelty. |
| AV ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyOdd Thomas is at its best when it’s presenting — rather than commenting upon or explaining — juxtapositions of the wholesome and the supernatural. |
| Examiner.comTravis HopsonSommers, who adapted the screenplay himself, clearly has a passion for the material and Koontz's bizarre short order cook. |
