Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
There's even room, in the midst of the carnage and mayhem, for a surprising amount of grace, humor, and whimsy.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
23 Oct 2004
rotten:

– Dave Kehr,

fresh:
Given all the chaos, director and, with Aykroyd, cowriter, John Landis manages to keep things reasonably controlled and in a straight line.

rotten:
