It’s a tough watch, even for those with infinite tolerance for fart jokes. Go to Full Review

...has the reputation as one of the worst films ever made; it’s certainly one of the most misguided. Doubling down on the bodily functions...there’s also a strange sexualisation here that makes for a very uncomfortable watch Go to Full Review

Dark H @DarkHao Dec 31 Based on other reviews i thought this movie was going to be gross! It was not over the top like i was expecting so thats why i cant go with anything higher than 3. Most of the acting was trash but for the main 3 non gpk characters. Dodger, Captain and Tangerine were awesome. And man Tangerine is smokin hot. But had no idea she was only 15 when this was filmed. Thanks to Vinegar Syndrome for dropping that truth bomb. Out of the gpk i think Ali Gator was the best voice acted but i liked the farting kid the best. Crazy thing i learned also. Tangerine was in real life dating Dodger at the time!!! Dodger looks soooooo way younger. He looks 12 and she looks 25!!! Well the real bad juju here was they had Tangerine make out with Juice who in real life was twenty something!! Lol, fun movie, hard to watch at some poibts because those animated masks were just soooo creepy looking! See more Mania I @TheMania510 Dec 16 Very cheesy and so bad you can't help but keep watching. It's nonsense but fun nonsense. See more Jaxon R @Jaxx.R Aug 26 This movie is so bad i was sadly sad when it happend and it ended with a very sad scene See more Angelo G @AngeloMaguire Jul 12 I like the garbage pail kid aspect of it, but most of the movie is about some random kid forcing the garbage pail kids to make clothing for a fashion show. 😬 See more Alexander T @Mcjangles May 4 Why is this movie so hated on? It’s not even that bad. The last time I watched it was a few years ago, but I remember liking it.
