They Might Be Giants Ratings & Reviews
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Stellar performances by Scott and Woodward, but it eventually gets smothered by its ever-escalating whimsy.
TIME Magazine
Stefan Kanfer
The pretense cannot mask the film's pusillanimous ideas.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
For dark-edged whimsy and charm, few films are better.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
Its humor and emotions are subtle, and the exterior of the film is a quite bizarre mix of sometimes disparate elements
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
Madness may, indeed, make giants of us all.
Apollo Guide
Ian Mantgani
Scott acts like a nut, Woodward gushes for no apparent reason.
