IMDB

A young teen is in love with a fashion designing thug.  He works at an antique shop that doesn’t sell anything and houses the Garbage Pail Kids.  He turns the shop into a sweatshop and has the Garbage Pail Kids making clothes for his crush.  In the last act, they tack on a place called The State Home for the Ugly, which is looking for the Garbage Pail Kids.  And they are from space, I guess.
One of the worst movies ever made.  Absolutely terrible in every way.  Unfunny, terrible puppets, bad acting, hard to follow, riddled with plot holes.  I understand that the Garbage Pail Kids are supposed to be gross, that's the whole point, but they shouldn't be scarier than the puppets in "Puppet Master."  The Garbage Pail Kid Ali Gator is particularly annoying, talking about wanting to eat toes nearly every time he is on screen, which is quite often.  


2/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
