The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: D
"Come back, "Cars." I was too harsh. Your adrenalized platitudes are nothing compared to the monstrosity that is "Monster House."

Austin American-Statesman: 2 of 5 stars
"Big names can't help. For a film executive produced by Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg, 'Monster House' lacks their snap and smarts."

The Palm Beach Post: B+
"The right blend of kid-friendly scares and adult-level humor."
