No one does saccharine like Adam Sandler. The man can be sharp, angry and funny - but when he lays on the sweetness, it's like drowning in an avalanche of Tate & Lyle.

It's all strictly one-note stuff. But it's a funny note, and the film has a grand old time giving us the same type of gag over and over again.

The 3-D adds a vertiginous thrill to a chase on flying tables and a touch of claustrophobia to a maze of underground corridors.
Nell Minow, Chicago Sun-Times

Not since Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein have the great Universal monsters been subjected to such dismal treatment.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews

Even the animation is ugly.
