We Got This Covered
Monster Trucks is a weird, wacky ride that's made better by its sense of good-natured, juvenile fun (for the most part). - 60
Total Film
Rob Lowe provides colour as a Southern-accented sleazeball, while the Free Willy finale has enough vehicular mayhem to excuse its dodgy FX. - 40
Empire
Objectively ridiculous but mostly fun, this is better than you could have predicted given the title but squarely aimed at a young and undiscerning audience. - 40
Variety
Like it sounds, Monster Trucks is a lame kids’ movie reverse-engineered from a worse pun. - 40
The Guardian
It has tentacles and hot wheels, yes, but not the legs or bright ideas to sustain itself. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
While Wedge’s animation background comes in handy during some inventive chase sequences (shot in rural British Columbia), Monster Trucks is otherwise a clunky nonstarter. - 40
The Telegraph
As much as you may find yourself rooting for the film, it’s too blandly directed by Chris Wedge (Ice Age) to repay the favour with anything out of the ordinary. - 40
Time Out
While Monster Trucks may be bizarre, haphazard and deeply silly, hey, it’s a movie about monsters that live in trucks. It was never going to be Citizen Kane.
