WHAT ARE CRITICS SAYING?

Variety by

Long on jabber but short on yocks.

Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt

Gilliam's first solo flight as a director is more notable for its inspired visual ideas than for the frequency of its laughs, but Python devotees will have fun.

New Times (L.A.) by Gregory Weinkauf

Awesome! Bravura! Captivating! Dazzling!

L.A. Weekly by Hazel-Dawn Dumpert

Jabberwocky is not a Python film, a fact most obvious in its marked lack of humor.

New York Daily News by Jack Mathews

Gilliam's first fully equipped playpen and if he musses it up -- I mean, really musses it up --well, prodigies will be prodigies.

Village Voice by Jessica Winter

The film itself is thinly conceived, except in the area of bodily misfunction. It plays like the murky B side to the immortal Gilliam-Jones epic "Monty Python and the Holy Grail."
