	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Ian Nathan Empire	"Winter and Stern’ movie is as subtle as the Plague. Yet they pull it off (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"Anything can happen at any moment"	POS
United States	Chris Willman Los Angeles Times	"Combined with the terrific creature effects, this smug stew results in at least a couple-of-dozen moments of wildly inventive fun and roughly twice as many puerile groaners"	NEU
United States	Ty Burr Entertainment Weekly	"The movie stuns you into a state of giddy delirium (...) [It offers] more laughs than a month of 'Saturday Night Lives'"	POS
United States	Leonard Klady Variety	"Loud and flamboyant, pic takes a few shots at societal sacred cows but more often misses the target. The effort comes off much in the prankish manner of a student film"	NEG
