When loser Marvin Mange is involved in a horrible car accident, he's brought back to life by a deranged scientist as half man and half animal.

Kevin Thomas
An outrageous and imaginative summer comedy.

Stephen Holden
Transcendently dumb but very funny comedy.

Michael O'Sullivan
Genial rather than an affront to good taste. It's also pretty darn funny.

Susan Wloszczyna
Schneider, with his cherub curls and scrawny physique, adopts a pussycat persona that engenders goodwill.

Stephanie Zacharek
If The Animal -- co-written by Schneider and Tom Brady -- never quite gets fired up, at least it chugs along efficiently on its mildly inspired ridiculousness.
