There\'s a really good reason that this film disappeared from cable networks and the cultural lexicon. Take an heavy level of racism, add a cavalcade of annoying characters and jokes then sprinkle all that on top of inane plot and you\'ve got yourself a monster bud movie.

We\'ll give this movie one thing - the animatronics and puppeteering are great. That\'s it. Everything surrounding the work of the grips, best boys and effects team stink. Guttenburg is groan-inducing, Sheedy is baffling, Stevens is offensive and Johnny 5 needs to take a long drive off a short pier. Even for a "kids" movie it\'s just so damned annoying. Like dogs barking while you\'re trying to sleep.

Skip this turd.
