not a knock on korman a he be very funny on the carol burnett show . he be also good at play secondary character in mel brook movie ( high anxiety come to mind ) . he be and however and not a person who can carry a movie in duel role no less . this one be basically a gremlin knockoff and follow a tradition of such movie a critter and ghoulies . it be not a very good knockoff either and on par with ghoulies and but with a much light tone to it a it be no where near as dark a that movie get . in fact and this one be too light and frothy and and unfortunately many of the joke end up fall flat . though i do give it a 3 for a score and this be only because there be a movie that be even a bad gremlin knockoff . if you watch mystery science theater 3000 you know the one i be talk about . the infamous hobgoblin . this one have a guy find a little critter in some underground place ( i only saw this movie once a long time ago so i do not remember everything to clearly ) and it start out friendly enough . however and this creature quickly become unfriendly and of course more be spawn and that be the movie . more miss than hit in the joke department and and it be also really lame to see korman play the evil brother role . best to skip this one and but then you may want to check it out just for kick .
