Media frenzy, universe imbalance and threatened human existence result when four New Jersey boys ride a rainbow.

Nigel Andrews

Financial Times

Archly scripted, lumpily directed whimsy.

Geoff Brown

Times (UK)

Hoskins may not get the film's pacing right, but he knows enough to hire a distinguished photography to deliver the necessary tricks.

Quentin Curtis

Daily Telegraph (UK)

The movie has a warm heart, but little else, despite enthusiastic cameos from Dan Aykroyd and Saul Rubinek.

Graham Young

Birmingham Mail

Though billed as a film for youngsters be warned that the language is a bit strong. However, that's nothing compared with the fact that Hoskins has an alarming lack of directorial flair.

Rated: 1/4

Mike Davies

Birmingham Post

Unfortunately, the leaden manner in which Hoskins chooses to have his young stars do this is one singularly lacking in pace, humour or anything resembling fun or excitement.

Philip French

Observer (UK)

[A] movie employing The Wizard of Oz (though more a crutch to hobble on than as a pole to vault with).
