The title describes the sound that you should make in your car, or on foot, or on mule, heading away from any cinema showing this film.

Zoom is a shocking waste of a decent premise - it could have been the Galaxy Quest of superhero movies but instead it's a badly directed, poorly written and desperately unamusing mess.

Santa trapped in a chimney and choking on his own beard would be funnier than this.

... this fizzled action flick lacks the wit, style and substance of so many better efforts ...

This comedy drags its feet, while the sappy sweetness will make you wince.

Despite whatever connotations its title might suggest, Zoom is a movie marked by pure laziness, made by folks who either don't know or don't care what they're doing.

Want to see child superheroes? See Sky High, Spy Kids or The Incredibles. And Tim Allen is better and more curmudgeonly in the Santa Clause films

Zoom fails because it’s ultimately bland, cheesy, and never really challenges its own formula seeking to make it one of a kind; it just wants to cash-in on an already exhausting fad.

Infantile, unfocused and dreadfully inept, Zoom is badly conceived...a totally faceless fable that strains for enlightenment but merely ends up as disastrous diversion

First the good news: This film isn't nearly as awful as some would have you believe. Now the bad: It still sucks.

When it comes to action, comedy, and drama, three words apply: lamer, lamer, lamest.

Top Critic
The kids are cute, Allen is affable and charming, and Chevy Chase shows flashes of his old brilliance, but mostly it’s a little kid movie with bad CGI effects and nary a moment of real jeopardy or emotion.

Stink jokes, snot jokes, Smash Mouth songs, dependably dull Tim Allen, some truly obnoxious product placement and 'We're more than a team, we're a family' bromides leach the potential pleasure from this overfamiliar story...

Playi[s] like a cross between Galaxy Quest and Sky High but without the wit and cleverness of either film...
