Reelviews It's part story and part spectacle, with the two halves being nicely balanced to offer something for just about everyone. The film pays enough attention to character development for us to care about the protagonists, and there's a substantial amount of humor. James Berardinelli

Boston Globe "Monster House," the new computer-generated family film about a possessed mansion, is like one of those gross-out children's novelty books -- the ones with the googly eyes -- and it attracts a certain kind of kid. Ty Burr

San Francisco Chronicle "Monster House" feels like a safe bet from the first shot, which shows an orange leaf blowing off a tree and gliding all the way to the ground. The shot is executed with the precision we've come to expect from big-budget animations, but there's an unexpected beauty about it... Mick LaSalle

FilmCritic.com Every perfect and picturesque neighborhood – at least in the movies – has one: that creepy old house that fuels the nightmares and serves as the centerpiece of the double-dog dares for the local kids. Anne Gilbert
