Zoom Reviews
The title describes the sound that you should make in your car, or on foot, or on mule, heading away from any cinema showing this film.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 3, 2007
... this fizzled action flick lacks the wit, style and substance of so many better efforts ...
| Dec 30, 2006
... a copycat kids' flick that raises smiles but no laughs.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 30, 2006
This comedy drags its feet, while the sappy sweetness will make you wince.
| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Aug 26, 2006
The kids are cute, Allen is affable and charming, and Chevy Chase shows flashes of his old brilliance, but mostly it's a little kid movie with bad CGI effects and nary a moment of real jeopardy or emotion.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 19, 2006
In a feat of dullness quite powerful in its own way, this lifeless family comedy sucks the joy from every joke it touches; X-Men's Rogue would be envious.
| Original Score: D | Aug 18, 2006
A cheap, ugly, forgettable footnote to the seemingly endless superhero boom.
| Original Score: C- | Aug 17, 2006
Zoom is another one of those endearingly cheap, twice-annual Tim Allen movies that seem to be forever playing on airplanes. (Next up is Santa Clause 3.)
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 16, 2006
Zoom is a movie that you've probably seen several times already.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 16, 2006
Family-friendly premise notwithstanding, this seemingly innocuous fare scarcely hides the contempt most studio executives must harbor for their audiences.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 14, 2006
Too infantile for tweens and too stagnant for tots, Zoom bleeds boredom from every frame.

Your ability to tolerate this movie depends on how much music from the band Smashmouth you can stand.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 12, 2006
Shabbily filmed and resolutely unfunny.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 12, 2006
Cox falls down three times, Allen belches and Chase gets covered with buckets of green snot. Scenes keep ending on non-jokes like this exchange: 'No way!' 'Way!'
| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Aug 12, 2006
Frankly, this would have been a perfect candidate for the straight-to-DVD shelf. But the young stars are appealing, and at this point in his career, Allen could carry a family film with one hand tied behind his back.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 12, 2006
The under-achieving Zoom resembles nothing so much as as a subpar episode of a failed Disney Channel teleseries.
Full Review | Aug 12, 2006
The director of Zoom is Peter Hewitt, who also directed Garfield. Nothing more to say about that.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 12, 2006
A crashing, thudding dullness infects every moment of Zoom.
Full Review | Aug 12, 2006
It has plenty of energy and visual effects but not a single original idea in its spandex-clad head.
| Aug 12, 2006
If Tim Allen really was a superhero, his name would be Blandman. His power: turn even the most innocuous kiddie movie into something nearly unwatchable.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 12, 2006
