Entertainment Weekly
There's unwieldy mess -- but there's also unruly brilliance to this dark and funny story about the havoc that ensues when a man's uncensored Freudian id is allowed the run of the place. - 63
USA Today
Wildly uneven collage of effects and live action is no Disney-bland vision of dreams gone bonkers. There's enough Freudian material to reupholster a thousand therapy couches. - 60
Film.com
Looks like a very cheerful and imaginative accident. - 50
San Francisco Chronicle
Too grotesque for children and just too silly for their parents. - 50
Miami Herald
A shapeless, chaotic, overly frantic comedy that manages to make almost no sense, even if you're paying close attention. - 38
Chicago Tribune
Isn't much more creative than your average gross-out comedy. - 38
Chicago Sun-Times
The movie never takes off; it's a bright idea the filmmakers were unable to breathe life into. - 38
Philadelphia Inquirer
Feels like it's been homogenized and Hollywoodized to death.
