    Celebrity's tough to let go of, apparently, even when you know it's undeserved. Best Worst Movie doesn't plumb that thought very deeply. It doesn't do anything very deeply, really -- it's content to skate across the surface of the so-bad-it's-good phenomenon that gave it birth. The filmmakers are too close perhaps; probably don't want to kill the troll that laid the golden egg.

    Best Worst Movie is a must-see for students of film criticism and the philosophy of art.

    This fawning appreciation wears thin, despite the good-natured clowning of Alabama dentist/would-be actor George Hardy, who's like a poor man's Bruce Campbell (our apologies to Bruce Campbell).

    Best Worst Movie covers the phenomena of the bad movie and, in this case, what imdb calls the "worst" movie ever made Troll 2. Like Tommy Wiseau's The Room or Ed Wood movies Troll 2 took off and became a cult hit phenomena amongst bad movie and horror movie fans. The star of this documentary was George Hardy, who nowadays works as a dentist after his career in acting never took off. But he is in generally in good spirits today. The only time he lost his patience is when signing autographs at the Horror Movie conventions. He wanted to bolt outta there! Troll 2 was so bad that one of the stars Connie Young (credited in the movie as Connie McFarlane) does not put this movie on her resume because she knows if she does and a producer watches the movie she will not get the role. She does not participate in anything Troll 2 related and wants nothing to do with it. You can't help but feel disgusted and also feel sorry for Robert Ornsby, another Troll 2 star who never really did anything with his life. Never got married. Didn't bother to go to LA or New York to try to make it as a star. Just stayed in Utah and watched Family Guy and let his life fritter away. Best Worst Movie also contains a ton of special features which will keep you entertained for hours. Even if you are not a horror movie fan, check it out. Very entertaining documentary.… Expand

    I just find it ironic that this is currently the Worst Best Movie. Other than that, I have nothing to add to this review, so instead I think I'll ruminate on the fact that it's rather astonishing how anyone would even bother to focus on a film such as Troll (or any of its sequels), and somehow think that anyone would find it even remotely interesting. But to each his own, I guess.… Expand

    The mildly entertaining "Best Worst Film" is kind of a companion, or commentary for Troll 2. If you haven't seen Troll 2, you're not missing much. But if you need a bad movie to balance all the good movies you've been watching. Troll 2 might be the one.… Expand
