A documentary about the best worst movie ever: 'Trolls 2'. Will this be just as unbearable to watch as the film it's documenting?
Starring: George Hardy, Darren Ewing, Claudio Fragasso
Directed By: Michael Stephenson
The Positives:
- George Hardy really is one of the most likable people I have ever seen star in a documentary.
- The director (who happens to have starred as the son in 'Trolls 2') brilliantly displays the fans of the movies love for the film in a more than just a "so bad it's good" way.
- It's also nice to see that the former film's cast have mostly moved on but still embrace their cult star status when the subject is brought up.
- Hiring an actual mental patient as 'Trolls 2''s antagonist? Ballsy move Fragasso. (Bonus points for getting the actor to admit he wanted to murder the kid in the film without giving away that he grew up to become the director of this flick.)
- When your movie is referenced in the creators' of Guitar Hero and The Upright Citizens Brigade's productions, you know you have a cult film on your hands.
The Negatives:
- God, it was awkward watching Robert Ormsby talk about wasting his life away and seeing 'the original film fail at various conventions and screenings with the cast in attendance.
- I… I think I actually want to see 'Trolls 2' now. Dear lord help me.
Grade: B+
I can honestly say I had a lot of fun watching this documentary, which cannot be said about most. Now I'm completely prepared for the release of 'Trolls 2: Part II' (Which I hear will be starring Patton Oswalt!)
