It is this technical laziness as much as the stupid story or the dumb direction that leaves the film in limbo and places it in neither one camp nor the other - neither with Attack of the 50-Foot Woman nor with Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail.

Roger Greenspun, New York Times
Rotten

Impossible not to admire the total withholding of irony in Claxton's approach to this kamikaze project.

Time Out
