| Production | The cheap, plastic-looking puppets and poor filming quality create a low-budget aesthetic. | |
| Accessibility | The film's crude tone and inappropriate content are criticized for contradicting its PG rating. | |
| Humor | Opinions on the humor are divided: some find the film's unpredictability funny, while others find the jokes dirty and overused. |
