Before Peter Jackson was beginning to get bigger and more famous over the world, this was the type of movie he made. Movies that are so disgusting, that they are funny. Forget the classiness of 'Lord of the Rings', or 'Heavenly Creatures', this film is gross!
This was a film i had seen the cover to a thousand times, but never felt the interest to see. But when i finally rented it, boy was i suprised...
Everything in this film works. The puppetry, well a little dated, is hilarious, and the script successfully 'takes the piss' out of family directed puppet shows such as The Muppets.
This wont be for everyones tastes, like Jacksons previous movies 'Bad Taste' and 'Braindead', but for anyone who finds cats giving oral sex under the desk to a giant walrus, or a hippo going on a revenge rampage with a machine gun funny.. THIS IS THE MOVIE FOR YOU!!!!
Well done to Jackson for having the balls to make a film that could have easily become lame and pathetic. I applaud him and the studio exec how gave this the green light...
8/10..... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
