*sigh... Okay, a '6' is being EXTREMELY generous here. But... it was kind of funny and the writers were moderately clever (make sure you notice the license plates on the police car)
Very, VERY silly! I mean, really silly...
And yes, it was most definitely played for laughs. Make no mistake people. This is NOT one of your 'PUPPET MASTER' movies. Not even the bad ones, not even close... But, I am a complete sucker for killer doll/puppet/toys films. And FWIW, there are many, MANY others that are far worse, horribly done, poorly acted, truly insulting, and boring. Even though this is just about as low, low budget as you can possibly get, at least you can tell that they are indeed having some fun with this one. There are some snippets here and there that are really funny. Watch for when the boyfriend is miming behind his girlfriend as to what they are going to be doing later on. And, what was up with that WTF moment in that scene towards the end when the sheriff is giving a pep talk to the old black guy...??? I went back several times and I could not tell WHAT the hell happened there.
This is definitely a movie where several beers and a few good friends would really help... That is about as 'high' of a recommendation as I can give.
