'Why are we listening to an insane woman?'


The weirdest part of the movie was when that woman in an office started telling stories about zoo animals and talking in two voices. What the HELL was that? I suppose she was supposed to be a phonesex operator, but it seemed bizarre even for this movie. Whoever wrote that was one of the worst writers ever.

I thought the stunts in this was just as bad (if not worse) than the writing.

I was laughing really hard because the stunts were so atrocious.

Like, when the kid was getting strangled by the hobgoblin, and the other kid was on top trying to hit the hobgoblin (THAT WASN'T EVEN MOVING) and 'accidentally' kept missing!!!!! I almost cried that was so funny.

And the women with the Marge Simpson hairdo "hitting" the anouncer guy with a bottle. Just horrible.

She wasn't hitting him, she was trying to spray the bottle's water pellets all over him.

What I thought was funny was how he was calling that sex hotline after the attack of the Hobgoblins. I mean, you just get done fighting off creatures and the first thing this guy thinks is "Man, all that Hobgoblin fighting got me horny. I'm gonna call a sex hotline right now!" Nope, the "hero" doesn't even try to make sure everyone is in the same room (where did he even go when he was on the phone and everyone was sleeping on the couch anyways?).

There was just waaaaaaaaaaay too much wrong with this movie. Thank God we had Mike, Crow and Tom to watch it with.

I think it was supposed to be a joke.
