Lots of laughs, lots of fisticuffs, lots of cool toys, lots of stuff getting blown up: Who could ask for anything more from a summer movie? - 80
Chicago Reader
An entertainingly offbeat blend of 19th-century science fiction and Hope and Crosby Road comedies. - 75
San Francisco Chronicle
A sly variation on the buddy movie. - 70
Salon
A movie that's dazzling as you watch it and immediately unsatisfying afterward. - 50
Chicago Tribune
A wild, wanton and wasteful western farce that's so overblown and underwritten it almost makes you cringe to watch it. - 50
San Francisco Examiner
These pictures need a light touch and a lot of attitude, but this time you can hear heavy breathing in the background. - 30
Film.com
The humor is, at best, thudding. At its worst, it's breathtakingly stupid and offensive. - 30
Austin Chronicle
The script by S.S. Wilson and Brent Maddock (Ghost Dad) is so jumbled and the direction so chaotic that it's often hard to tell what's going on -- where, when, and why.
