New York PostV.A. Musetto
It's full of Plympton's trademark twisted humor, with lots of sex thrown in. Read full review

Film ThreatMerle Bertrand
Though this rude and crude film does deliver a few gut-busting laughs, its digs at modern society are all things we've seen before. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineKen Fox
The general level of mayhem, the sudden transformations that are Plympton's trademark moves and the pervasive irreverence will no doubt delight Plympton's legion of fans; others may find 80 minutes of these shenanigans exhausting. Read full review

Zany, exuberantly irreverent animated space adventure. Read full review

New Times (L.A.)Andy Klein
While the humor is recognizably Plympton, he has actually bothered to construct a real story this time, and the joke sequences are shorter and better integrated. The visual style is also richer and "better drawn" than before. Read full review

Mutant Aliens would have been brilliant as a short; there's just not enough story for a full-length feature, so the film seems strung together. Read full review

This lackluster outing is mostly just a retread of past glories. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyMark Olsen
When Plympton isn't indulging his manias, the film just sort of nods off, and nothing much happens -- either visually or storywise -- for what seems like ages. Read full review
