Reviews

Zapped! received mixed reviews from critics upon its release. IMDb users rated it at 4.9/10, while Rotten Tomatoes scored it at a low 6% and Metacritic gave it a rating of 10/100. Variety magazine commented that the film 'offers little more than a slim premise that barely fills an hour and a half—overstuffed with contrived and poorly executed goings-on'. On the other hand, Roger Ebert from the Chicago Sun-Times praised the performances of the cast, especially Scott Baio, stating 'Baio manages to bring a certain charm to an otherwise lackluster script.' Despite the low ratings from major review platforms, some audience members found the movie to be a nostalgic and enjoyable watch, appreciating its humor and light-hearted approach to the supernatural theme.
