Review of Best Worst Movie (2009) by Lord N — 13 Feb 2011

This movie baffles me. well, it doesn't baffle me as much as it baffles me what this movie shows me Troll 2 did.

It, for starters, showed me what an idiot the director was. He was Italian and he insisted that he knew how American Teenagers talked better than the American teens in the cast. You could just tell the whole time that he thought that he was better than the actors. Plus, he had important issues that he wanted to touch on with the film which were: "Living eating and dying". Those were the important issues that the film was trying to get across. The director was this stuck up jerk basically.

But what this documentary shows me is that this whole film was damned from the very beginning. The actors didn't know what it was about, the director thought it was about deeper things than it could have possibly been about, and the fact that the cast was American and the directors were Italian (who spoke almost no English) made this film almost impossible to shoot. Plus the film had an incredibly tiny budget. Nothing could have gone right for this film. Nothing did.

Then you get to the mother and she feels that the movie was just as good as say, Casablanca or any old Katherine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart film. Yeah, she thinks that Troll 2 is as good as Casablanca. Wrong. Just, wrong.

Most of the movie was the guy who played the kid in the movie making the movie and he focused mainly on the guy who played the dad. I liked him at first because he seemed like a nice genuine person, but then they went to some horror conventions and people didn't focus all on him like they did at screenings of Troll 2 across America and he kinda seemed to be...I dunno. he seemed like he expected the limelight to be on him and was kinda bitter when it wasn't but if so he hid it well. But to be fair he said that he was burned out with the whole thing so that might have been it.

It was an informative documentary. It was interesting to see what came out of, and what went into Troll 2. If you've seen Troll 2, this is a must.
