Some baaad dialog.

I like this genre and when I can I catch a Leprechaun movie or Chucky movie or Tremors movie or whatever comedy/horror/tongue-in-cheek flick is playing.

But this one felt particularly clunky.

Rumplestiltskin himself just throws out some horrid lines. I mean, you expect a couple of groaners and puns, and you hope for some clever or ironic humor. But in this movie, he just throws out lines that make you go, "Huh?!" I mean, it's great that this guy from a previous Century can get behind the wheel of a Mack truck and handle it like a seasoned truck driver. That part is funny. But then while he's doing this he's firing off non-sequitors posing as humor that are just puzzling, "American made!" "I love it when a plan comes together!" OK, I guess he's chomping a cigar like Hannibal from the A-Team when he says that last one, but how on earth does that fit in with anything?

I agree! The one-liners were AWFUL! And I thought it was a little too Terminator with the whole motorbike and sunglasses scenario. I laughed SO hard though at that one part where the truck goes off the cliff and he says "****eth Me!" all 15th century and such.

It's cheese. It's supposed to be like that. But cheese is fun. :)
