Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
This movie is every bit as whimsical as [Jonze and Gondry's] work but lacks the minimal plotting and strong intellectual component that gives their flights of fancy shape and substance.

rotten:
By the end, having failed in its attempt at cleverness, the movie veers into sentiment, the inevitable last resort. The movie fails at that, too.

If you stick with it, there's a chance it'll grow on you as it grew on me - and you'll be rewarded with maybe the best ending of any movie so far this year.

rotten:
Loneliness, arrested development and the slow disintegration of the imagination are all topics of interest to the directors, but they approach each with only a cool level of ironic detachment that becomes unbearable after 90 minutes.

"Swiss Army Man" leaves an impression, but can't complete its job. Like Manny, it's full of hot air.
