Chicago Tribune

The script would like to be a horror film, a comedy and a commentary on suburban living, but it doesn't hit any target.

TV Guide

This black comedy is often hilarious, but is betrayed by an ending forced on Dante by the film's producers.

A fairly disappointing flop...

Orlando Sentinel

This movie was directed by Joe Dante, whose style has become increasingly broad and abrasive since he made the clever Gremlins back in 1984.

Radio Times

[Director Joe Dante] excels at this sort of thing and delivers an intriguing picture, even though it threatens to stray into David Lynch territory but ultimately cops out. Bruce Dern and Carrie Fisher offer fine support to the affable Hanks.

New York Times

The Burbs is a big unfurnished movie about some very small characters living in a suburbia that is consciously designed to look like sit-com land.

One of the most consistently overlooked movies of the 80s.

Director Joe Dante funnels his decidedly cracked view of suburban life through dark humour in The 'Burbs.

Time Out

Characteristically, Dante's nonchalant attitude towards plot structure makes for erratic pacing (the last half hour does flag), but that's part and parcel of his breathless, anarchic style.

Combustible Celluloid

One of Dante's most enjoyable films.

Tom Hanks should forfeit his Academy Award nomination for Big, now that preview audiences have gotten a look at The `Burbs.

The 'Burbs doesnit quite go the distance, but for most of its length it is a superbly inventive, insightful and funny black comedy.
