The A.V. Club - Nathan Rabin
Loaded with smart sight gags and endearing secondary characters, it effectively mixes slapstick splatter and deadpan satire...Pretty damned irresistible.
67
Austin Chronicle - Marc Savlov
Green and Henson make an inspired comic team, Sawa has the befuddled stoner thing down pat, and Alba is, in a word, yummy.
38
New York Daily News - Jack Mathews
Ill-timed "Hands" has a very limited grasp of comedy.
38
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Liam Lacey
This briefly inspired bit of surreality quickly descends into gratuitous bondage, mayhem and dumb humour, marking the usual progression from mildly absurd premise to gratingly idiotic conclusion.
30
TV Guide Magazine - Maitland McDonagh
There's about half an hour's worth of sickly amusing material here...Unfortunately, that leaves a solid hour's worth of witless screaming, running around and expiring in a welter of icky special effects.
