Usually, good directors filming the horror or semi-horror/sci-fi films choose a phobia from wide range of existing phobias and play on it...
That works greatly on the people who actually have such phobia or are close to it, and it also works good for people who don't have, but get to understand after film, why other people have such phobia...
Situation is completely different with Arachnid!
If you take this movie and make someone who struggles from arachnophobia to watch it couple of times, I am sure he will be cured.
Giant spider monster is so dumb, so funny, so stupidly made... that everyone will understand for good, that there's nothing we can afraid of, even if spiders will really become that big.
Recommended for psychologists, use the film, cure the people!

Well, OK! it IS better then scary movies, epic movie or meet the spartans, but it's not even close to Zuckers' movies and even Leslie Nielsen can't save this...
You definitely WILL laugh here and there, and some jokes are really good...
But again, we have here same toilet-humor that is overused in on these spoof movies... just why some people don't understand, that some things are not funny, but just disgusting...
And NO! showing the scene where one insults a dead body in it's coffin isn't funny too, it is not only disgusting, but immoral; This movie is NOT complete waste of time, watch it if you have nothing else to do, but if you DO have something other on mind, don't bother, skip it, you will not miss much...

(very minor spoiler here, this scene is somewhere in the middle)
2 little black fury teethy monsters, standing in front of the closed door chatting (already funny, isn't it?):
1st critter: They have weapons! 2nd critter: So what? (the doors opening and mom shoots out 2nd critter) 1st critter: F*kc!!!
If after that you're going to see Critters with serious intentions in mind, waiting for poor gore or serious plot, then you obviously not on the right horse! Critters is hardly a horror, it is more of a parody on itself. "B" Movie without ANY seriousness in it. It is poor fun, mindless, dumb, stupid, GREAT fun... Good way to sit and watch through, if you haven't something to do and just want to kill couple of hours.
P.S. oh, did I mention? The Critters themselves are so cute, that if I would have to choose horror movie monsters that I agree to be prey for, it would be them :)
