Fresh:

-Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times, October 23, 2004
 

Fresh: The extraterrestrial elves, who thrive on electricity and replicate themselves out of scrap metal, are no less charming, and the special effects show them off gracefully.

Reviewer: joe Review refers to DVD version

Great fun for the whole family
April 26, 2010

I love this movie and glad I finally own it. This movie is about the little guy being stomped by the big guy until the unsuspected happens. The characters in the movie are so unique. While there is no nudity in the movie there is a brief showing of a painting of nudity. It is a fictional fantasy that makes winners of outcasts. The "little guys" show up in need of help and end up helping their hosts. The bad guys get there comeuppance in the end. This movie makes me laugh and cheer and sometime hold my breath. It's just good fun.
