The movie is like the play date from hell, the kind where a crew of children reduce your home to rubble and conduct endless bouts of loud war on the living-room floor while you ponder the propriety of opening a bottle of wine.

I would like to think that even if I was 14, either in body or spirit, I would still find this film an impossibly, incomprehensibly overlong and cacophonous bore.

Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

It adds up exactly as you'd think if you've seen a moving picture before; the motivations are simple while the laughs pound you about the head and face.

Much of the movie is computer-generated hash, weightless even with nonstop BOOMS and METAL GROANS and THUDS.

The movie rages on for a hundred and fifty minutes and then just stops, pausing for the next sequel.
