Audience Member You're getting everything in terms of quality as you would expect from the title. I don't even know what this is classified as... maybe a tragedy? There is nothing I liked about this movie, not that I was expecting to. Acting, sound quality, story, all of it didn't make sense. I don't even know why they showed a picture of the "baby" on the cover because you never really get to see it until the end. And even then, it's not the same baby. I only kept watching because I wanted to see if there was redeeming factor that would take place. There was none. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Haute cinema....this is obviously NOT! However, no matter how strong your stomach is, one would at least expect a movie about the misadventures of an abandoned dumpster baby to be a grotesque spectacle that you can't pry your eyes away from! Troma should be ashamed for finding a way to turn such a squeamishly intriguing plot into a slumber-inducing yawn-fest. If you manage to stay awake through this entire 80 minutes, you deserve a medal. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member What a strange an extremely unlikely story, often in very poor taste. It was clearly made on a miniscule budget and it hurts the film. More stupid than it is interesting. The score isnÂ’t too bad. The acting is quite poor though, some do okay, but most do not.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Congratulations, Richard Linklater. Someone made a half-assed homage to your best movie. Unfortunately, it was a horrible, horrible Troma movie. I was really hoping this would be in the 'so-bad-it's-good' category. I had such high hopes, with the title and all. It just wasn't meant to be. Let me put it in perspective: In high school, my friends and I wanted to make a Hobbit parody called The Bobbit. On grocery store stockboy wages, I think we could've pulled off a higher quality production. The sound quality was so horrible that I couldn't understand some of the dialogue even with my headphones cranked to maximum. I upgraded it from a half dot to a full dot simply for the Linklater tribute and the two times I halfway chuckled at it. The best line: "Bring that baby back to me when it's old enough to suck my dick!" -- Sorry, that's the high point. And only because it's said by an effeminate black gangbanger. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member A good premise is all that this movie had going for it, which sucks because everything else about the movie makes you want to tear you eyes out. I can deal with, and am actually a fan of, some bad acting, bad production, and all around bad movies, but this movie just sucks balls. Too bad.
