When it comes to action, comedy, and drama, three words apply: lamer, lamer, lamest.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
In a feat of dullness quite powerful in its own way, this lifeless family comedy sucks the joy from every joke it touches; X-Men's Rogue would be envious.
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
A cheap, ugly, forgettable footnote to the seemingly endless superhero boom.
Nathan Rabin, AV Club
Rotten
Zoom is another one of those endearingly cheap, twice-annual Tim Allen movies that seem to be forever playing on airplanes. (Next up is Santa Clause 3.)
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
