Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie Ratings & Reviews
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
If you're in the mood for some knuckleheaded comedy at the expense of -- in mad scientist Dr. Forrester's words -- "a stinky cinematic suppository called This Island Earth," then get thee to some place playing MST3K.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
You still feel that every delirious allusion, every snidely on-the-mark observational quip, is tickling a different part of your cerebral cortex. Yet the movie lacks the manic highs of the show's best episodes.
Seattle Times
Janet I. Tu
It's a fun enough way to pass the time. And fans of the TV version of MST3K certainly won't be disappointed. But it would be just as much -- if not more -- fun watching it in your own living room with a bunch of rowdy pals.
New York Daily News
Dave Kehr
There are still enough bad makeup jobs, pretentious lines, and coy sexual situations to give the chattering puppets plenty of fodder.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
For many, a little of this joking will go a long way; devoted fans, however, will wish for a double-bill. Count me closer to the latter group.
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
In the theater, whenever Mike, Crow or Tom Servo flub a punchline or resort to a fart joke, you almost want to lean forward and shush them.
The Dissolve
Scott Tobias
The good news for fans is that MST3K: The Movie, for all its flaws, at least works as an okay facsimile of the real thing.
Austin Chronicle
Alison Macor
It's fun for the entire family. And one more thing. Push the button, Frank.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Part of the appeal of the program is in the wisecracking. But the movies themselves are also crucial.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
[MSTies] can rest assured that the movie is about as funny as a typical episode of the show that is, pretty darn funny in a sly and satirical sort of way. For others, the movie can serve as a good introduction to the whole MST3K phenomenon.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
As the gags pile up remorselessly, and the viewer strains to keep up with the story line and the cutting subtext, a furious but benign apnea takes hold. You can't enjoy a good long laugh because you'll miss too much.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
[The wisecracks], more often than not, don't go over. But those that do still add up to lotsa laughs, and the sheer weight of them eventually builds an atmosphere of mild lunacy that it's useless to resist.
Washington Post
John F. Kelly
So, how does movie differ from TV show? The answer is, thankfully, not a lot.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Helping to make these pleasantries funny is their spur-of-the-moment quality, the same quick spontaneity that characterizes chance remarks overheard at raucous movie houses. Capturing that bright and unexpected quality is what the MST3K crew does best.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
A flat-out hilarious celebration of B-moviemaking mastery.
Salon.com
Mary Elizabeth Williams
The illusion that it's just a bunch of wiseguys making fun of a movie is what prevails. It's a pretty impressive special effect.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
They've hit a fatal snag. The feature they selected happens to be a pretty good one -- certainly much better than Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie by just about any criterion one could think of.
USA Today
Susan Wloszczyna
From the opening spoof of 2001: A Space Odyssey to the end-credit yuks, MST3K:TM seizes your funny bone like a rabid mongoose and never lets go.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Stack
[It's] is a tough call to recommend for everyone. But for a goofy time laughing at stupid comedy with otherwise intelligent people, it might be just the ticket.
