Cabbage Patch Kids were for girls, Garbage Pail Kids were for boys. At least that's how it was marketed at the time. The appeal was that they were gross and offensive and featured grotesque illustrations with clever word play.
Sadly, this film displays none of that charm. Based on the Topps sticker trading cards, it desperately wants to be Gremlins and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but the best idea they can muster involves them running a sweatshop. I'd say the biggest sin this film commits is being boring, which is unforgiveable when you've got people running around in rubber suits, but in its defense, at least it doesn't involve CGI. Staring at this artwork is a lot more fun than watching the movie, that's for sure. Viewing this as an adult feels like I've come full circle.
