- Critics' reviews
-
-
"[It] is saddled with dialogue so wooden that Mr. Paxton and Ms. Theron almost seem animatronic themselves"
-
"This is one remake that isn't trying to make us forget the original, but seems rather to embrace it and bring it into the present in solidly crafted, family-friendly fashion"
