Critics Consensus

Although it may serve as a passing diversion for very young viewers, The Oogieloves fails to offer much more than several brightly colored examples of the worst stereotypes of modern children's entertainment.

The whole thing runs about an hour too long: It should have been a TV show. The adventure's too big for the kids who would love it the most.

Forget Saw, I'd argue this is the most freakishly disturbing outing of Cary Elwes career.

I am somewhat hesitant to attempt to describe this...peculiar concoction for fear of being accused of base mendacity.
