Overview

When renowned director Werner Herzog and fellow filmmaker Zak Penn set off to explore the legend of Scotland's Loch Ness monster, they uncover much more than they bargained for. Unexplained sightings of the creature and chaos among the crew create an uneasy feeling that things aren't what they seem.

[Penn's] oafish 'character' only manages a few guffaws and a handful of chuckles, and his movie is the same.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten

We realize with increasing dismay that Loch Ness is a movie about the bald, weaselly Penn and not about Herzog at all.

Desson Thomson, Washington Post

This is mandatory viewing for Herzog fans. It's an inside joke, but for those who get it, it's loose, funny and, in its own way, Herzogian.

Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle

Watching the movie is an entertaining exercise in forensic viewing, and the insidious thing is, even if it is a con, who is the conner and who is the connee?

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten

While Herzog demonstrates here that he's a perfectly good sport, one can't help think that his time would be far better spent making more films rather than parodying himself in such inconsequential efforts as this.
