- "Such prissy mollycoddlings of audience expectations were shortly to come under heavyweight siege from a variety of filmmakers in the 1950s – not least the aforementioned Otto Preminger."
- "On some level, the filmmakers behind Monster Trucks must have recognized the ill fit of Till playing a teenager, because they cast Jane Levy, a 27-year-old who can pass for younger but not a decade younger, as Meredith, a nerdy classmate of Tripp’s who moons over him as she insists on making an appointment to tutor him in biology.
