Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.
'Meet the Feebles' is Peter Jackson's worst movie and still there is enough
for people to like it. It is not that I think it is really bad, it is just
that I am not waiting to see puppets have sex, kill each other, puke, use
drugs, fight in Vietnam or even eat s***.
Where 'Bad Taste' and 'Braindead' were weird, gory, but very funny this
movie just has its moments. The opening song is one of those moments but
beside that point the comedy only comes from normal things done by puppets.
I laughed sometimes, not because it was that funny but because we are
watching frickin' puppets. Still, because it is this weird it does mean
there are entertaining moments and I can understand if you like it more than
I do.
