Film Review! The Garbage Pail Kids Movie!

Do you remember the garbage pail kids from the 80’s? If you’re about my age you might. They were intended as a spoof on Cabbage Patch Kids dolls which were extremely popular at the time. It was a series of trading cards, much like baseball cards. They made a movie of it, which was one of those films that goes on list of bad movies, worst movies ever made, things like that. They have the characters from the cards played by dwarfs or midgets in costumes.
It is a very, very bad film. It’s a movie for children with no educational value or merit whatsoever. There’s a whole lot of bathroom humor in it. They have the character Windy Wendell who farts all the time. It is repulsive in all ways possible. Large-scale protests by parents in the 80’s got ads for the film taken off television.
But the thing that strikes me most about the film is that I can’t really think of a film that is uglier to look at. The garbage pail kid costumes are so repulsive I had to turn the film off. I could not stand the sight of them.
Nerd Ned, the character whose face is covered in scary looking acne, pees himself all the time in it.
Also, I couldn’t get a make on the storyline really. The boy who is about fifteen is bullied by full grown adults. And then he’s in love with the woman (full grown woman) that is the full grown leader of the bully gang’s girlfriend.
When they sing it gets pretty bad.
It’s sickening. It was intended to be a children’s film but I think it almost really belongs in the category of films like the Human Centipede films or the Guinea Pig videos of extreme horror cinema. That is because of the combination of the constant toilet humor and pre-occupation with poor hygiene, the use of repulsive puppets, and odd sexual content involving the very young teenage boy and the much older love interest. The combination of those elements is a lot to sit through. I would take a very good long look at a parent who let their children watch this film. That's not who watches it at this point though. It's the people that search out bad movies that watch it.
This thing is on YouTube don’t pay money for this shit. It’s disgusting. It’s for hardened fans of twisted cinema only.
