I really liked this movie when I first saw it, but seeing it again later, I thought it looked silly. The basic themes and the story are really good, though, and Williams gives a good performance too.

Probably my favorite film of all time. It has great art direction, video game action, Robin Williams comedy and an awesome soundtrack.
Favorite Scenes: the surrealist fake MTV video to distract the guards, and when the toy tanks break down the door and begin the battle against... read more -

Every propmaker and set designer in the world dreamed of making this movie. It's wacky, but it might be brilliant - a very interesting depiction of industry with an understated Robin Williams. Levinson and Williams can't miss together: this is a great movie for rewatching and ret... read more

This is truly one of the least funny non-slapstick comedies I've ever seen (crawling around down there with My Fellow Americans).

I surprised myself by watching this whole thing through. It was so boring that it took me a day and a half to get through it. Whenever it bored me too much, I pressed pause and did something else. I really liked Joan Cusack in this one. She is so adorable. The only good thing abo... read more

Critic Reviews
A big, colorful movie. The film is absurd, but likeable.
Unwatchable muck.
It's a terminally flawed film, and almost gleefully so.
Batteries 'definitely' were'nt included
Beware of any film where the most interesting character is a machine.
A grab-bag of novelties and visual gags
The audience is likely to leave this one filled with disappointment and a sense that some wonderful opportunities have been missed. Full Review
