Meet the Deedles is being viewed by most critics as a throwback to Disney films of the '50s and '60s for better or worse. Mostly worse. The New York Post's Larry Worth says that the film "brings new meaning to stupidity" and "will have viewers longing for the relative intelligence of Dumb and Dumber." Michael Saunders in the Boston Globe regards the film as an "assembly line" product from Disney, "the McDonald's of filmmaking, ... family fare processed with the regularity and precision of a Big Mac." Nancy Churnin, for Knight Ridder, calls the script by Jim Herzfeld "mind-numbing." But Anita Gates in the New York Times is less harsh. She calls the film "pure Disney" and says that it carries on "a movie formula that has worked since the '50s." |
