At one level, it is pretty bad. Then, on the other level, it is downright horrible. Unless you're an entertainment masochist, neither is very much fun.
Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic

Don't pay money to see it, don't waste your time if it comes on cable; you might not even want to bother reading the rest of this review.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Rotten
A tedious and unfocused concoction involving science fiction, plagiarism and the nightgown industry.

Where do you go after rocket-propelled deer statuary, cyclops warriors in golf carts, and Mike White with a dubbed Irish accent?
