What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Argus / The Star Theresa Smith  Peculiarly, Tim somewhat misses mark. | 10 |  |
| Die Burger Herman Lategan Hier is geen keer aan fantasie. | 10 | |
| Cape Times Todd McCarthy Burton's oddball kids. | 10 | |
| ScreenIt Jim Judy While much feels recycled, and we really don&rquot;t know a great deal about most of the characters, there are enough Burton-esque touches from his early years to make this easy to watch and sit through. | 13 |  |
