Critic Reviews

  • Ben Mankiewicz, At the Movies

    I just didn't think there were anywhere close to enough laughs in this movie and that ultimately, as a comedy, is what it's got to deliver.

  • Ben Lyons, At the Movies

    It is not visually stimulating.

  • Susan Walker, Toronto Star

    Igor, like the Frankenstein's monster at the centre of its tired plot, looks like something cobbled together out of used, very used, parts.

  • Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle

    While much of the banter between the characters is inventive, the plot turns are predictable - complete with a romantic misunderstanding straight out of The Karate Kid (and 20 other films).

  • Lou Lumenick, New York Post

    Pieced together from Tim Burton and various other sources with more desperation than inspiration.

    An original and entertaining film. Yeah it's not on the same intelligence levels as some Disney/Pixar films but this is extremely underrated. It teaches children to love who they are and have high goals no matter who they are. Some very funny moments and truly heartwarming.… More

    A very different and funny take on the world of igor

  • Emily A


    I am really torn about this movie. Igor is a great story, terrifically funny, very tightly written and peopled with really engaging characters. But the end result is just so... ugly. The animation is so damn crude that it really takes you out of the story. Every single character is… More

    This animated film is sort of a riff on the original <i>Frankenstein</i> film, but it adds its own elements to the mix. It is entertaining and has some amusing moments, but it's not what I would call hysterical. There's romance angle which works well here, and… More
