Ridiculous fantasy adventure

I really have to lay into this movie. The acting is terrible, the lines are awful, nobody sounds like a kid for one, secondly the adults are written like kids, it's atrocious. The film has no depth or emotion to it, just a series of pointless gags, including tripping on a banana skin.... The special effects are bad, the magical friend is very gratting and the ending is incredibly lazy. Children deserve better than this and I feel sympathy for the young cast who do their best with a poor piece of writing. Again and again with bad movies it comes back to the writing. If this was meant to be a comedy then at least put in some funny jokes for us.

This movie is more fun than it should be...but still bad

Munchie (1992) is a movie that my daughter and I watched together on Tubi. The storyline follows a young man who gets bullied at school and struggles to fit in. He finds a mysterious box with a Munchie inside that agrees to grant his every wish. The young man is about to get his life flipped upside down.

This movie is directed by Jim Wynorski (The Lost Empire) and stars Loni Anderson (WKRP in Cincinnati), Andrew Stevens (10 to Midnight), Dom DeLuise (Blazing Saddles) and Jennifer Love Hewitt (I Know What You Did Last Summer).

This movie has a way better cast than it should. Loni Anderson looks amazing as the mother and Dom DeLuise was a tremendous choice as the voice of the Munchie. The next thing I must say is this movie is bad...but there are some scenes that will make you smile. The pizza scene with the chef with the meat clever was a lot of fun. The funeral dream cracked me up and is something all kids do. They also did a great job creating the various Munchie outfits. The ending is predictable but the mom's boyfriend is so annoying it's still fun to see it happen.

Overall, this movie is more fun than it should be...but still bad. I'd score this a 4/10 and recommend seeing it once.
