Joe Dante pays loving tribute to the gimmicky creature features of the 50s and 60s while also exploring the dread of the atomic age that inspired them, all in a film that, as the title suggests, is perhaps best suited to a lazy Saturday afternoon.

Fun family flick. Wish they would have shown more of MANT--a film so terrifying ONLY SCREAMS CAN DESCRIBE IT!

Terrific family film weaving the terror of the Cuban missile crisis into the premiere of a shlocky horror film. Goodman is great, and the whole thing glows with nostalgia.

Joe Dante's best film, a wonderfully rich homage to the wonder and the paranoia of the early 60s.
