Variety -
One of the holiday movie season's more pleasant surprises. A mischievously clever and slickly commercial sci-fi comedy.

Christian Science Monitor -
The story is silly, the acting is campy, the effects are amusingly tacky. A mildly entertaining romp that pokes refreshing fun at its own occasional violence.

Boston Globe -
A clever, affectionate, and entertaining holiday snack for sci-fi fans. Falling somewhere between slick and cheesy.

San Francisco Examiner -
An exceptionally funny science-fiction comedy.

New York Daily News -
No masterpiece, but in a season dominated by films as heavy -- and about as time-consuming -- as brain surgery, a little brain candy is sweet.
