All Gizmo ever wanted to do was chill out and watch movies. Gizmo spends basically all of his time in Gremlins being so captured in what was on screen during the various movies he decided to watch. So in a way everyone on this site is Gizmo. I'd wager a good deal of us…

Sabrina Bondi likedGremlinsA seasonal classic for good reason, its family-friendly frights successfully blend together humor and horror for an alternative to more traditional holiday viewings.

Taking responsibility can be hard but there are only 3 rules and you broke them all. A fun holiday movie that has mayhem and monsters. Just what one can imagine could happen when gremlins come to town.
TJ Lane likedGremlinsI resonate with the gremlin sitting in the corner of the bar trying to look mysterious in a fedora
Saint likedGremlinsthis was my favorite movie when i had my like 80s 90s flicks era of only watching 80s-90s movies

Gremlins was hailed as another E.T. It's not. It's in a different tradition. At the level of Serious Film Criticism, it's a meditation on the myths in our movies: Christmas, families, monsters, retail stores, movies, boogeymen. At the level of Pop Movie-going, it's a sophisticated, witty B movie, in which the monsters are devouring not only the defenseless town, but decades of defenseless clichés. But don't go if you still believe in Santa Claus.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Gremlins is far more interested in showing off its knowledge of movie lore and making random jokes than in providing consistent entertainment. Unfortunately, it's funniest when being most nasty.
Vincent Canby
The New York Times
What's confusing yet ultimately illuminating is the way his gremlins function as a free-floating metaphor, suggesting at separate junctures everything from teenagers to blacks to various Freudian suppressions.
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Chicago Reader
