By the climax, his truly ambitious, truly flawed film finally disappears into the 'time-space rift' (or whatever) to achieve some sort of cosmic transcendence.

One of the most confusing, ridiculous, pretentious and disastrous cinematic train wrecks I've ever seen.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
By the time the movie rolls into its third hour, it's exhausted most of its comic energy, leaving you disoriented and unable to remember much of what you just saw.
Bruce Newman, San Jose Mercury News
Rotten
Immature, crude, poorly made and a waste of time.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Rotten
No amount of reworking could salvage what was a misbegotten and unfunny idea to begin with.
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
