 The film was given a thumbs down on the television show "At the Movies with Ebert & Roeper"; Richard Roeper criticized the film's run time and calling it "unfunny", though he said the first five minutes of the film were funny.In response to such reviews, a commercial featuring the Mooninites began airing during the Adult Swim block.The two characters spend the entire commercial insulting a supposedly typical reviewer, "Lionel" of lionellovesmovies.com (the site merely leads back to the movie page).
