Critics Consensus

Like a colorfully overengineered gewgaw on the shelf, Toys might look like fun, but its seemingly limitless possibilities lead mainly to confusion and disappointment.

The failure of Barry Levinson's Toys is of a different order: it's the kind of folly only a very fine filmmaker could make, a labor of misguided love. Go to Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 01/01/2000

The production design deserves Academy recognition. But at the most fundamental level, Toys is a film not quite sure what it's about. Go to Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com 01/30/2022

Erin M @Mightymotes Apr 10 This is a very fun and interesting movie!!! How can anyone not understand this story or think it’s too weird? It’s a comedy and this is a story about an eccentric family who love toys and building/crafting toys for children. I don’t get all the negative comments ,and it seems people’s brains are turning to mush in our current modern age if they can’t get into enjoying such a Brilliant movie. Great acting and great atmosphere and music soundtrack also!! See more John K @WQCMI Feb 7 I'm very mixed about the film, but I find it watchable. I like the cast of Robin Williams, Joan Cusack, Michael Gambon and LLCoolJ and the music is really cool for the 1990s, but the story was lackluster and the final battle was weak.
