Director: Jim Mallon
It doesn't take much imagination to poke fun at the pitiful special effects, goofy '50s he-man behavior and unintentionally hilarious script, but the silliness of the entire concept eventually wears down your defenses.

I guess there are some concepts that don't excel in the translation from the small screen to the big one.
If you're a fan then you've no doubt already seen the movie. If you're not, then dash out and rent it now! You'll probably become one.
One of the film's more likable aspects is its certainty that nothing's sacred.
Top CriticWhen MST3K is on the mark, it's a howl. Only a couple of jokes (like a dated John Sununu reference and one or two flatulence bits) really fall flat.
They've hit a fatal snag. The feature they selected happens to be a pretty good one -- certainly much better than Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie by just about any criterion one could think of.
If you're a fan of the show, or haven't ever seen it before, watch this film.
The illusion that it's just a bunch of wiseguys making fun of a movie is what prevails. It's a pretty impressive special effect.
In the trip from small screen to big, virtually all of what made the show so smart and funny has emerged unscathed.
If you love MST3K, you'll see it in the theater. I know you will. Just be sure to stick around for the credits; they rag on them, too.
[It's] is a tough call to recommend for everyone. But for a goofy time laughing at stupid comedy with otherwise intelligent people, it might be just the ticket.
A flat-out hilarious celebration of B-moviemaking mastery.
Part of the appeal of the program is in the wisecracking. But the movies themselves are also crucial.
Top CriticWhat is the worst thing that can happen to you in a movie theater? Sitting next to a group of people who not only talk incessantly back to the screen, but who say nothing but inanities and bathroom humor. Well, welcome to your worst nightmare.
