One of the best reviews I've read of it so far was written by The Houston Chronicle's Amy Biancolli, who understands the film's borderline surrealist aesthetic:
Is it a good movie? Well that's up for debate. It's definitely not for all tastes, but it's most certainly not the disaster it's been made out to be. I think most people just don't know what to make of it.Everyone, it seems, was determined to make this big-screen parody as retro-trippy as humanly possible, utilizing lizard suits, woozy Theramin music and scenes that Salvador Dali might have cooked up for a stoner movie...It all amounts to a certain brand of comedy — something closer to long-form Dada than conventional humor.
