I saw this movie advertised in Fangoria, and immediately found the concept of Gary Busey as a killer gingerbread man hilarious. Sure I knew this would be bad, but I'd expected it to be bad in a good kind of way. Nope, afraid not! This movie is dreadful in every possible way. The action itself clocks in at only an hour, and that includes an overly lengthy opening credits sequence, the end credits somehow bumping it to 71 mins??? It seems silly to criticise a movie like this, but it really could have made a decent "bad movie". Why not more scenes of the Gingerdead Man? Why not more cringeworthy lines for him to deliver? Why not even a remotely interesting death scene? Possible Spoiler: There is one sequence in this movie which highlights just how funny the movie could have been: its only a 20 second sequence in which the GD Man dishes out verbal abuse to a rat. Truly hilarious (in a bad movie way) and the reason I've given this film a rating of two.
