this movie be make for people who find gremlin too serious and critter to hardcore . like many of the critter or troll or gremlin movie of the 80 this movie be bad . the sad part be that there no punchline to that comment . it just bad and not in a funny way . the problem with this miniature monster movie be that it actually try to be funny and end up be a successful in do that a howie mandell be in walk like a man . what make the other 80 horror movie into classic be that they be genuinely try to be scary and but be hilarious because they fail so miserably . someone must have tell bettina hirsch ( yes the bettina hirsch ) she have a knack for comedy before she start direct this movie . unfortunately they be wrong . sure see a weird little mutate cross between a ferret and a tumor wear a brown trenchcoat and throw pool ball at an outcast from the lose boy be amuse and but not enough to save the movie . by far the most annoying part of the movie be the paul character . his paul reiser wannabe schtick be enough to make you start fast forward from the time of his first scene until the end credit only stop once to see a scene where a munchie throw pool ball at a guy . not that i do that . so the bottom line be run and do not walk and to your near blockbuster and shake hand with the manager and thank him for not have the grape to stock this pile of garbage on the shelf .
