| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.A definite heavyweight in the Charles Band library... |
| StarburstJ.R. SouthallThis is filmmaking of expediency rather than either professionalism or extemporisation. |
| User ReviewBenjamin vAmazing cinematography, excellent plot development, depth of character, unpredictable plot; everything this movie had absolutely NOTHING of. |

| User ReviewRobert IThis first is still the best. Skip 2 and move on to part 3. |
| User ReviewOllie TCome on, don't act you don't remember. If you weren't watching the Adventures of Pete & Pete, you were probably watching this at your cousin's house. |
| User ReviewDarren FThis movie is close to a perfect 10... after all, cute dinosaurs DANCE!! I especially like how they dinos are all named after musicians. Unfortunately, this is one of the few movies that I didn't like the Dad character! He's cute, but he's all over the place and not awesome... pffth The dum dum boyfriend is given a bum wrap I think. He worships the ground she walks on! He seems like a good boyfriend with stupid hair... and the only 10th grader with a license. Dinos! Dancing! Eating! Nuzzling! |
| User ReviewJacob vDeformed midget dinosaurs dancing to Elvis covers (Reason being the movie's budget was not big enough to purchase the rights to a real Elvis song). |
| User ReviewAdrian KI loved dinosaurs when I was a kid so this movie rocked! I watched it all the time, but I haven't seen it for awhile. Still a good movie! |
| User ReviewAmanda RTotal gem. Still 3 copies left at the video store... |
