Review of The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (1987) by Spencer S — 26 Jul 2013

Let it be DUH it's not a good film.

I would even say that if it had no relation to the cards that lend it's name to it then no one will care and the only people who will be watching it are a select few brave enough to download a torrent because no company would release a DVD.

However I think the DVD exists exclusively for those who grew up collecting the cards.

I collected the cards myself and I know that the fans now could themselves come up with a better script. I would even venture a guess that Troma would be able to crank out a GPK film more kid friendly and interesting that this mess.

I never saw this when it was in the theater (my mom wouldn't take me).

I'm sort of glad.

The only good thing IHMO that came from this film is the theme song "You can be a Garbage Pail Kid" as a child collecting the cards I always thought the GPKs should have had a theme song and this does good enough.
