Date: 19 September 2000 Summary: Enjoyable 1980s Non-Sense
"Gremlins" is one of those guilty pleasures. It is not a very good film,
but there is just something about this film that makes it watchable and
enjoyable. Young Zach Galligan gets a pet for Christmas, but everything
goes terribly wrong when the pet gets wet. Now there are several of these
cute creatures, but the new ones are evil and after eating a bucket of
chicken after midnight, they become the title "Gremlins". Chaos follows and
the small mid-western town is torn apart piece by piece. The film is fun,
but pretty short on direction, screenplay, and characterization. All in
all, a film that over-achieves for the most-part. 3.5 out of 5
stars.
