3.5/5
"Screams cult classic through and through"  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

3/5
"An offbeat movie with a gee-whiz approach to popular culture."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

2/4
"[It] aims for wackiness and weirdness and probably attains it, but to be honest, it is a rather soulless piece of entertainment."  Sci-Fi Movie Page  James O'Ehley

1.5/4
"Buckaroo Banzai seems stranded in an alternate dimension where films don’t need to have a solid perspective to exist."  MovieMartyr.com  Jeremy Heilman

3.5/4
"They just don’t make them like this anymore."  Movie Habit  Marty Mapes

5/5
"Buckaroo Banzai is like decades of escapist pulp filtered through the skeptic's shrug of the mid-'80s."  eFilmCritic.com  Rob Gonsalves

"The characters each look like they are from a first generation music video, speak like they are in a work of serious science-fiction, and sound like a stepchild to Huey Lewis and the News ..."  Not Coming to a Theater Near You  Rumsey Taylor

3/4
"The best thing about a movie this wilfully silly is that it never patronizes its audience for loving it and in the end, that might be the best reason for giving it a chance."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
