( Showing 1-15 of 15 Tomatometer Reviews, sorted z-a )
3/5  "Maintains your interest until the end and even leaves you with a few lingering animated thoughts."
-- Kirsty Walker, IOFILM.CO.UK

2.5/4  "Outrageousness is all Plympton seemed to be going for this time. We miss the quirky amazement that used to come along for an integral part of the ride."
-- Bob Strauss, LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS

  "Fans of Plympton’s shorts may marginally enjoy the film, but it is doubtful this listless feature will win him any new viewers."
-- Mark Olsen, L.A. WEEKLY

3/4  "Humorous, artsy, and even cute, in an off-kilter, dark, vaguely disturbing way."
-- Mervius, FANTASTICA DAILY

  "This slender plot feels especially thin stretched over the nearly 80-minute running time."
-- Shawn Levy, OREGONIAN

2.5/5  "Will no doubt delight Plympton's legion of fans; others may find 80 minutes of these shenanigans exhausting."
-- Ken Fox, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE

3/5  "Though this rude and crude film does deliver a few gut-busting laughs, its digs at modern society are all things we've seen before."
-- Merle Bertrand, FILM THREAT

  "Becomes the last thing you would expect from a film with this title or indeed from any Plympton film: boring."
-- Cameron Meier, ORLANDO WEEKLY

  "While the humor is recognizably Plympton, he has actually bothered to construct a real story this time."
-- Andy Klein, NEW TIMES

2/4  "It's not without its pleasures, but I'll stick with The Tune."
-- Walter Chaw, FILM FREAK CENTRAL

4/5  "Zany, exuberantly irreverent animated space adventure."
-- Kevin Thomas, LOS ANGELES TIMES

  "The director's twitchy sketchbook style and adroit perspective shifts grow wearisome amid leaden pacing and indifferent craftsmanship (most notably wretched sound design)."
-- Nick Rutigliano, VILLAGE VOICE

3/4  "A new film from Bill Plympton, the animation master, is always welcome."
-- V.A. Musetto, NEW YORK POST

2/5  "For the future, one hopes Mr. Plympton will find room for one more member of his little band, a professional screenwriter."
-- Dave Kehr, NEW YORK TIMES

3.5/4  "It's a work by an artist so in control of both his medium and his message that he can improvise like a jazzman."
-- John Anderson, NEWSDAY
