Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Finally becomes a somber, sentimental and rather profound romantic fantasy that is more true to the spirit of the Golden Age of science-fiction writing than possibly any other movie of the '90s. - 63
New York Daily News
A fragmented, episodic feel and a conclusion that seems both remote and remote-controlled. - 63
Miami Herald
Entertains but never quite engages. - 60
Los Angeles Times
A mainstream holiday movie, complete with stupendous special effects, amazing make-up artistry and sumptuous production design. - 50
Chicago Sun-Times
Begins with promise, proceeds in fits and starts, and finally sinks into a cornball drone of greeting-card sentiment. - 50
The New York Times
Except for Williams, the sitcom-meets-sci-fi acting throughout the movie is strictly of television caliber. - 42
Entertainment Weekly
Director Chris Columbus...seals this comedy in an impenetrable bubble of hollow humanism. - 30
Time
The tone is cloying, the running time bloated.
