I have seen a lot of movies I didn't like, but this one might just take the cake. I have seen worse movies. But I don't think I have ever seen one I enjoyed less.
The grossout jokes are unfunny -- but at least there's a lot of them. The acting is awful. Astin runs around looking like Jim Bob Walton. And the story makes little to no sense. I wish I had something insightful to say, but I just feel like everyone on the planet is now dumber for my having watched this movie.
Half a star for Tangerine being a kind of hot 80's chick and all the models getting stripped to their knickers at the end. And perhaps some attempt at a positive message such as "ugly is a state of personality" or something.
You should probably not watch this movie.

No child should be allowed to watch this movie. Ever. For any reason.
Adults probably shouldn't, either.
-
Quite possibly the most completely misconceived film of all time.

God damn the kids are just the sickest beings you ever thought about. Pretty good movie, and damaged as hell. Pacing could be better.

Manzini, a magician who runs an antique store, employes a young 14-year old who haphazardly unleashes a Pandora's Box of gross when a garbage pail full of pint-sized foul-odored uglies is toppled over.
I haven't seen this flick since I was a kid, but re-watching it now these are the things I learned from watching The Garbage Pail Kids Movie:
1. Child labour and non-union sweat shops are A-OK!
2. 20-year old babes can seduce 14-year old boys for possible celebrity gain!
3. Pint-sized alligators don't get ID'd at The World's Toughest Bar!
4. There is a State Home for the Ugly. That's where Santa Claus spends his other 364 days!
5. The Garbage Pail Kids Movie is to American…

So awful. With a big crowd this can be fun, but if you're by yourself I would probably recommend eye surgery over watching this vulgar, and relentlessly ugly film.

This was a movie I actually saw as a kid. I got the DVD a few years ago but frankly I was terrified to watch it again; I heard some reviews that described it as an agonizing experience.
Finally, I saw it tonight and yes it is horrible and totally not suitable for kids (there are flasher jokes, the humanoid-alligator thing known as Ali Gator gets drunk at a biker bar and given his love for human toes, probably has a foot fetish, and of course the Kids themselves are really disgusting and horrifying to look at) BUT I laughed often at the movie.
C'mon now, it's about a bitchy teenager girl in her late teens who is hot in…

I used to collect these cards as a child, but I did re-watch this recently and it's not really as bad as people claimed. Barberi is a total sex bomb and Astin is great too. The 'Kids' are really weird looking and may give you nightmares with their giant heads, but isn't that the point? It is what it is.

Unsettling and upsetting,this erstwhile 80s child warper will give you and your little ones nightmares for years to come.

The Garbage Movie.

I'm a sucker for all of the things this movie is. I'm not sure it does any of those things as well as it could, which is too bad. It does have its charms, though.

I was hoping against all hope that this could be a so bad it's good movie. NOPE. It's just weird and bad.
