Munchie Strikes Out........2004-09-14

I just don't see how a Concorde-New Horizons film directed by Jim Wynorski and featuring the acting talents of Andrew Stevens and a puppet could be bad. It just boggles the mind, doesn't it?

Well, let's make no mistake about it. "Munchie Strikes Back" is indeed a bad film. Munchie is a puppet who has been around for many centuries. For reasons not fully explained until the end of the film, he is sent to Earth to help a single mother and her son. The mom's problem (her main problem at least) is that she has a balloon payment due on her mortgage in two weeks...to the not-so-tiny tune of $20,000. Ouch. She can't come up with the money because she just got fired. OK...JUST is the key word in that sentence. What the...? Was she planning on paying it off with a single paycheck? Maybe it would've been a good idea to have spent the last several years saving up for it...ya think?

Munchie has magical powers similar to those a genie would possess...but there isn't a limit on the number of wishes you can make! Munchie gets the boy a bunch of fancy stuff for one night but then the kid asks for it to be sent back to the mall Munchie was "borrowing" it from. The annoying furball also uses his otherworldly skills to help the boy win a baseball game by means of cheating. A baseball is hit so hard that it orbits the Earth several times. Sadly, those dumb parents watching the game don't think it's at all strange. Hmm.

Anyway, I'd like to wrap this up because this has already drained away enough of my lifeforce as it is. You'll be truly moved by the scene where Leslie-Anne Down, playing the mother, kicks a dog which is yapping at her. Your heart will melt at her charm when she notices dollar bills fluttering down on her front yard and she wonders how it could be snowing during the summer. "Munchie Strikes Back"'s credits promised another film to follow entitled, I believe, "Munchie Hangs Ten". To date, the movie viewing public has been robbed of what would surely have been a cinematic tour de force. Heh.

Just for the kiddies............1999-05-20

This is a movie just for the kiddies. No crude humor (like in "Munchie"), not that much profanity, and no good jokes. The kiddies will have a kick out of this one. If you loved the orginal "Munchie" this is not for you, instead the film-makers tried to copyoff a good movie making it kiddy.

sucks because jennifer love hewitt isn't in it.......1999-04-29

sucks no jennifer love hewitt they could have made it good if only jennifer love hewitt was in it

Munch on this.......2003-12-21

Munchie can make pizzas fly down the street. They found munchie in some box hidden away in a mine or something. Jennifer Love-Hewit is in this. So is Loni Anderson. This is a heartwarming tale of a kid who finds Munchie, then gets springboarded to popularity. Munchie is cool. He looks stupid, and when he talks, his hands twirl around. Watch this movie late late at night with friends, you'll laugh your head off. That one big guy from Canonball run is Munchies voice.

Sometimes You Have To Help People In Spite of Themselves!.......2003-07-06

Munchie is one of the best movies ever! Every time I see it I melt with pleasure for the inguinitive genius which Munchie gives my soul. I'm writing this review after seeing Munchie, the best movie of eternity of particles which float upon this planet in the cosmic galaxy, and Supertroopers which is the worst movie ever to have even been thought of eternity of particles which float upon this planet in the cosmic galaxy. I saw Supertroopers and my mind turned to mush. The only thing that kept our sanity was the fact that we had just purchased Munchie so we could enjoy the best movie of eternity of particles which float upon this planet in the cosmic galaxy whenever our hearts desired to do so. Who knew that you could buy: the fountain of orgasmic, mind-expanding, experimental, kitten-loving, grizzly old man kitten loving, Waking Life loving, Audrey Taotou (Amiele)loving, Incubus in Esperanto starring William Shantering loving, Matt and Charlieing, not DaNthonying, electric shocking, rocking, I'm only mocking, To Kill a Birdmocking, frocking, putting in the clocking Signs blocking, Importance of Being Jocking, Glee Clubing, and doneking, youth experience at Family Video for just $4.33!
First and foremost everyone in particles which float upon this planet in the cosmic galaxy should see this movie because you will love it, you will love the 70's, the green glowing while talking, Gage's fantasying, the hello my baby hello my darling, the pizza flying, the alien and kid partying, the grade changing, the locker beating, the Munchie tricking, Munchie's Operation: Desert Storm-a-ing, the partying with a keg-a-ing, the car-a-flying, the arresting, the open ending for a sequeling, and the Matt and Charlie applauding and last but not least, the sequel writing!
In conclusion, we believe we will leave with the sweet thought in your mouth that Munchie is God's gift to the particles which float upon this planet in the cosmic galaxy, if you have seen Munchie, God Bless YOU and if you haven't seen Munchie, I wish you a pleasureing journey (SpaceFans) through the land of Munchieville!

Munch-tastic!.......2000-02-01

Back in those magical halycon days that are known as the "Mid-80's," a movie about a species of ghouls run amuk from late-night snacking was released to the North American public. That movie was Gremlins. It was quickly embraced by the public as a masterpiece and subsequently became a well-loved and undeniable classic. Not surprisingly, other movie companies and producers, seeing the huge success of Gremlins, were anxious to get in on the action and "munch" a piece of the lucrative cinematic pie. A whole slew of movies about small, terrifying, bloodthirsty, yet cute, cuddly critters inundated the public. The most popular of these was Ghoulies--like Gremlins, a trilogy. Until 1992, Hollywood and the public mistakenly thought that this genre was dead. But then came Munchie, which set movie-making special effects back at least twenty-years. In many ways, Munchie was both a spring-board for the actors involved and a coup d' grace. As you may already know, this was Jennifer Love Hewitt's first movie. And it may have been Loni Anderson's last. After Munchie, not even network televsion was willing to cast Amderson in a saturday night made-for-tv flick. Dom Deloise, who lent his fresh wit and unmistakeable voice to Munchie, was little affected in the way of his carrer. It seemed that he was too far removed from the American public's mind. After all, he hadn't appeared to a mass-audience since he occupied one of the squares on Hollywood Squares. That was some time ago. I don't believe that, at the time of its release, the public was ready for Munchie. Despite its painfully obvious influences, in many ways it was ahead of its time. The flying pizza--not "pizza's" as was claimed on the back of the video box--the parties, the antics, the hijinx, the pranks, and, above all, the love and friendship, all presaged the New Age movement that's presently sweeping the country. It was no accident that the character Munchie played an active role in the formation of nearly every ancient society's mythology and mores--as was touched base on in the film. Not-so-special and yes, even deplorable, effects aside, Munchie was a masterpiece, it was an example of the power of straight-to-video releases. Despite its technical flaws, Munchie was a testament to the power of humanity and love, and a pleasant reminder that we should all make an effort to look beyond the superficial and the venner, and that beneath these lies the essentials of life: love, happiness and understanding.
