      Audience Member Yes, Full Moon has a kid's line called Moonbeam. Is it weird that a company founded on killer dolls would make movies for the entire family? An alien couple comes to Earth in cowboy clothing and as soon as you realize that one of them is Terry Kiser, it all kind of makes sense. They have quite the plan: get kids to come inside their store, give them a free pet, then said pet reveals that its an alien that needs special food. When the kids come back, they kidnap them and then take them to sell in space as an entirely different kind of pet shop, which is in no way not horrifying to any child that watches this and then goes to PetSmart to get litter for their cat. Does Full Moon have pictures of Pino Donaggio in a compromising position? I have no idea how they got him to give a song to this film other than money and I don't think they throw all that much of that around. This was directed by Hope Perello, who also made Howling VI: The Freaks. That should tell you all you need to know. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member I only seen this movie once, and I think that once is enough. I went with 1/2 a star. I could not bring myself to even give it 1 full star. I would not reccomend this movie to anyone as it is so hard to sit through and watch. This movie came out when I was a little kid, but just heard about it and watched it now. What can I say about this movie, kids in cages, mafia family on the run, aliens, puppets and all in the middle of nowhere. Terrible acting, wired story all over the place. The New Jersey accents are so over the top. Yea, it's a kids movie from the 90's but omg. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member odd and quirky but you will watch it from beginning to end. I'm pretty sure that this is where furbies came from Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member loved this one of my fav family films Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie tries to be so much more than it could ever possibly be...and that is part of its charm. The characters hit every range of kid's movie caricatures without ever being average. The plot comes in all different directions. The subtle jokes are clever while the delivery or choices made in each scene seem hilariously bizarre. It is not a "good" movie, but it is fun, clever, entirely unique, and every bit of the way a good time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member This was such a cute movie.
