There was one thing about The Animal that did surprise me: the extent to which it systematically rips off Wolf.

If you want a giggle and are not too fussy, you could do much worse than surrendering to its shamelessly puerile brand of smutty schoolboy humour.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 29, 2001

About the best you can say regarding this inoffensive Schneider vehicle is, hey, it could have been worse.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 25, 2001

Certainly reeks like something produced from a squatting position.

Full Review | Original Score: 0.5/5 | Jun 12, 2001

The Animal is never more nor less than stupid, but stupid in ways that deliver goofiness rather than rampant humiliation.

Full Review | Jun 11, 2001

Let's hear it for stupendously dumb screen writing.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 4, 2001

It's just not funny.

Full Review | Jun 4, 2001

Should you consider getting near it, understand that it doesn't smell so good.

Full Review | Jun 4, 2001

Anyone not committed to cheap crude humor may find The Animal more creepy than funny.

| Jun 4, 2001

A silly, stupid story with a one-joke comic premise.

| Jun 4, 2001

Schneider manages to make it all more palatable than nauseating, genial rather than an affront to good taste.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 1, 2001

If I had a mob, I'd send it after the yo-yos at Columbia Pictures who gave this pu-pu platter the green light.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 1, 2001

This may be giving Schneider too much credit, but the lad has found a way to temporarily halt the de-evolution of the silly comedy.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 1, 2001

A lunkheaded, sorta gross-out comedy that manages to be likeable and funny.

Full Review | Jun 1, 2001

Next to Joe Dirt, The Animal is tolerably amusing.

Full Review | Jun 1, 2001

There's a whole lot of stuff like The Animal to the point that there's no longer anything outrageous about its outrageousness.

| Jun 1, 2001

OK lowbrow comedy about a man given superpowers by animal organ transplants.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 1, 2001

Its relative modesty lends Mr. Schneider's deft, ingenuous performance an unexpected glow of innocence.
