Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

marvelous_things I just received another copy of this movie after not having had it since I was little, and I can personally testify that this movie is amazing! My sister and I used to watch it all the time and it was thoroughly entertaining. It may be cheesier than some, but this movie makes a big impact on children that don't know any better. And I mean that in the best way possible ;) It's a great movie for children in that stage where cartoons are maybe past their primary interest. I remember when I was a little girl I was proud to get permitted to watch a movie for big kids. Maybe the purple costume is a little much for the younger children, so make sure they're mature enough to handle it. :)

maryBMG Sucks! My God!, it has the lamest ending in movie history! How are we supposed to believe that the kid was actually singing?? And, What was Little Richard doing there??? He can do SO MUCH better than that! This movie should be it the Bottom 100 rank!! Lets star with the tittle, it suggests that this is a good B movie with actual Purple people eaters! Now, that would have been a cool B movie. Next let go with the plot.... Well all i can say is, It is really lame, bad, it sucks, and f i keep going with this i will never end.... And the ending song??... Well lets just leave it like that... Conclusion, if you are up for a movie in which you can laugh for its stupidity and bad visual effects, you should rent this one...

mktmcgowan Purple People Eater is the best. I love this movie. If it would be re-released I would by it. Cause it's been my favorite movie sense forever!!!! I wish they would rerelase it or at least show it on TV again. IT would be worth it!!

klustor I saw this film as a child, and to be honest I really enjoyed it and it was one of those films that stuck in my head. Ignore the comments, if you can find this rare and treasured film then make sure you see it! I would give it 6 out of 5, just for it's pure excellence.
