	Media	Author	Review
		Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle	"It's a beautiful, horrible, groty mess that could never have been pulled off with anything but puppets, or by anyone but Peter Jackson. Bravo!"
		James Berardinelli ReelViews	"While I found parts of it diabolically clever and funny, I thought the setup was overlong and certain aspects of the production either didn't work or were needlessly overdone (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Janet Maslin The New York Times	"Destined to stand as an unfortunate footnote to Mr. Jackson's career."
