Nancy Churnin, Dallas Morning News: Even the good moments get sucked into the bizarre black holes of the story. Read more

Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: It offers imagination and humor and a touch of goose bumps. Read more

Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader: Vampire cows provide comic relief and many of the scares in this respectfully dark yet optimistic story about a lonely child who befriends a vampire. Read more

Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: A fun and warm children's fantasy. Read more

Paul Clinton (CNN.com), CNN.com: If you're expecting Haagen Dazs, prepare for ice milk instead. It's not a horrible film, but it's not a good one, either. Read more

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: A nightmare of blandness. Read more

Lawrence Van Gelder, New York Times: Not often does a family film come along that is literate, clever, mischievous and just plain fun. Read more

James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Bram Stoker, F.W. Muranu, and Bela Lugosi would turn over in their graves if they found out. Read more

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: The costumes are neat, the photography is great -- all the pieces are on hand, but they don't fit. Read more

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: The results are predictable and only mildly entertaining. Read more

Derek Elley, Variety: Mildly entertaining but dramatically messy. Read more

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: Very funny in a way reminiscent of Babe: Pig in the City. Read more
