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."

Jeremy Heilman
3.5/4

Marty Mapes
5/5
