Review For Mental |
The heart of Hogan's film is in the right place, and Collette is masterful as an agent of anarchy. Tom Keogh-Seattle Times
The scenery Down Under looks great and you certainly can't write off a film where Liev Schreiber plays a shark hunter. Lou Lumenick-New York Post
Writer-director P.J. Hogan may have based "Mental" on an actual incident from his childhood, but the crazy quilt of a movie that resulted feels anything but real. Gary Goldstein-Los Angeles Times
"Mental" wildly overplays the kookiness and quirk. Stephen Holden-New York Times
A lot of times, you simply want the jabbering characters to shut up. Randy Cordova-Arizona Republic
Mental skewers the easy-on and -off labels of psychiatry, but some sequences, particularly one of "bad dreams," are sophomoric. Marsha McCreadie-Village Voice
The humour is every bit as rude and raucous as before, but Hogan's touch here seems heavy handed and the use of songs from The Sound of Music doesn't work nearly so well as the joyous Abba tunes that drove Muriel's Wedding. Jason Best-Movie Talk
There are some big laughs and fine performances, yet not enough realistic grounding in the characters or story to sustain its dramatic transition in the second half. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
Given the film's garrulous multitude of characters, one wishes they would all just shut up and sing. Tina Hassannia-Slant Magazine
Enjoyable performances can't compensate for the film's lack of control: in Hogan's hands the broad humor sells out the sincerity, and when that mark is missed, we end up at twee. Jessica Kiang-The Playlist
Not content to make his point through sharp-tongued comedy, Hogan ends up beating a dead horse -- or shark, as the case may be. Marc Mohan-Oregonian
Hilarious but a tonal bucking bronco, the effort is perhaps best reserved for viewers in the mood for a runaway mine cart viewing experience, willing to absorb all the chaos Hogan happily provides. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com
A kooky comedy in which a spirited cast is almost suffocated by too-aggressive direction. Ethan Alter-Film Journal International
If one wants to see Toni Collette light a fart on fire, well, this misguided reunion with her Muriel's Wedding director may be the only chance they get. Brent Simon-Shared Darkness
It's a bewilderingly strange movie, the kind of thing that one might write off as being lost in translation from its Australian origin before realizing it wasn't that funny there either. Brian Tallerico-HollywoodChicago.com
Not every cute movie about the mentally ill is Oscar worthy, but this touching and riotous one from Down Under works well enough. Roger Moore-Movie Nation
Collette anchors the film with a selfless, let-it-all-hang-out performance that sets an agreeably anarchic tone. Eddie Harrison-The List
