A man (Rob Ramsay) learns horrifying secrets while working in a factory where babies are transformed into dolls and sold to children.

Linda Barnard

Toronto Star

Suresh John hits all the right comic notes as driver Sly while Ramsay nicely captures Jon's nave, fish-out-of-water confusion as he navigates the unfamiliar world.

Rated: 2.5/4

New York Times

While the results are more creepy than charming - too childish for adults, though not necessarily too dark for children - it is hard to fault Mr. Goodwill for trying.

The Dissolve

Patch Town has just enough laughs, imagination, and sincerity to follow through on its naked bids for cult adoration.

Rated: 3.5/5

The tension required for the story to succeed never reaches a height, it fizzles out. Patch Town has good ingredients but they never reach their sazn, leaving them unable to transcend beyond cabbage soup.

Factory noir rears its head, when it comes to corporations, consumerism and the destructive pursuit of objects of materialistic desire. As the cabbage plant working stiffs in a different sort of scary movie, become the assembly line products themselves.

It's hard not to find something to love in a film that mixes elements of Toy Story, Bad Santa, Russian folklore, Cabbage Patch Kids and Les Miserables.

Rated: 3/4

So absurd (not in a good way), it gets unintentionally interesting for a few moments.

A unique movie that I'm glad I stumbled upon. A musical love story that was quite enjoyable. Original premise and well acted. A little gem of a movie.

A strange movie that is equal parts Will Farrell comedy, musical, and flat out insanity. Easily could be suggested as a Christmas Movie if you were deranged. Still, watch this movie. It's too bizarre not to.
