The most positive review

Weirdly, it's one of my favourite Christmas movies!
It was heartwarming, a little scary and outright amusing. It's one of those films where the bad guys still the show.
Also, is it me or does the girl look a little like adult star Ava Dalush?!
Anyway, what I'm saying is, Gremlins is another classic.

The most negative review

Overall, movie was strange. It did have a few suspenseful moments, but overall want that great of a horror film. And I definitely wouldn't call it a comedy. Based on all the hype it has had I wasn't that impressed.
